DiscotecaItaliana by Ethik & HLRTY

"DiscotecaItaliana" by Ethik and HLRTY, founders of *asterisco, embodies the spirit of Italy's club scene during a pivotal moment of transformation. As the Italian nightlife grapples with challenges and uncertainty, this track serves as both a reflection of the present and a beacon of hope for the future. Its pulsating 155 BPM is a testament to its refusal to be confined to any one genre, offering a rich blend of techno influences, while drawing from the breaks tradition and the soulful legacy of UK sounds that resonate deeply within.
The track is undeniably dark in its essence, yet it carries with it a subtle but powerful optimism that reverberates through its layers, echoing the hope for renewal and revival. The Palermo based collective’s mission is made clear through this piece: to bring life back to the social spaces of clubs, to reignite the communal experience that music in these spaces provides. But more than that, their goal is to ensure that the sound system speaks across the entire frequency spectrum, giving every listener a complete, immersive auditory experience.
*asterisco’s ethos is simple and heartfelt: we do it to stay alive, we do it because we believe in it, we do it because we love doing it. This track is not just music; it’s a statement of resilience, a commitment to the power of sound, and a celebration of the social connection that music fosters in these uncertain times. It's a call to action for those who still believe in the magic of the club, the collective pulse of a crowd, and the transformative power of music.
