Margaret by Sebra Cruz

‘Margaret’ by Sebra Cruz feat DJ Tennis is the first single from Sebra Cruz’s upcoming LP ‘Don’t Worry Psy Happy’ releasing on Life and Death in early 2023. Named after his girlfriend, ‘Margaret’ honours the sensuality and inspiration Sebra derives from his love.

As can be heard in Sebra’s track ‘When Life Was Slow’, released on LAD in 2020, Sebra has a strong passion for Italian composers of the 60s and 70s such as Stelvio Cipriani, Piero Piccioni, Maurizio Vandelli, Claudio Gizzi, Goblin, Gianni Marchetti, Bruno Nicolai, Franco Micalizzi and many others.

Many Italian films of the 70s and 80s were soundtracked by these musicians who are part of Italy’s rich musical history yet remain relatively unknown to those who grew up watching the films. Sebra samples these monsters of Italian harmony in a dance key on ‘Margaret’, being careful to preserve the peaceful atmosphere that their psychedelic soundscapes provoke.

Sebra Cruz grew up between the clubs of the Riccione and Rimini Riviera and has been working as a DJ for almost 30 years. His productions are characterised by this knowledge and appreciation of dance music, mixed with the spontaneous sounds of these powerful Italian composers. A keen experimenter, several of these musical sensations can be found on his upcoming album.

Sebra Cruz and DJ Tennis have a long lasting and trusting collaborative relationship exhibited by the former's numerous releases on Tennis’ Life and Death label. DJ Tennis’ encyclopaedic musical brain and shared passion for Italian composers perfectly complements Sebra’s stylings, making for a free flowing relationship that is as close personally as it is professionally.

The common thread that links everyone involved in Life and Death is something beyond just their specific talents.
Founded in 2010 as an Italian record label and event brand, Manfredi Romano’s Life and Death curates soulful dance music with a post-rock aesthetic.
