La Bella Di Notte Italy レコード& CD

Review: Justin Mackay, also known as Mystic Shift and Force Of Angels, made one record as Audio Quest back in the mid 90s as well as recording in projects for Rising High and the like. It's one of those trippy gems from yesteryear which DJs covet for their extended sets, perfect for heavy-lidded morning moments when the immersion can't go deep enough. Now La Bella Di Notte are doing a reissue of this mysterious gem, finally scuppering the sharks to make this delectable 12" available for the masses once more. In its hazy sweeps of pads, scuffed breakbeats and mellifluous acid lines you have everything you need to take the party somewhere beyond space and time, and what self-respecting DJ doesn't want to do that?

Review: The cultured La Bella Di Notte label out of Italy has already won our hearts with an array of fine reissues and here comes another one to start off 2024 right. Zero Origin's 'New Life' came in 1996 and is the work of Nathanael Heres, who dropped only a handful of EPs between 1994 and 1996. This one, like most of them, is much sought after and fairly pricey if you can find it. It is a raw exploration of stripped back house, techno and dub with well swung drums with an original, Se Da remix and more breakbeat driven Planet Earth mix.
