Tora / Kiki by My Friend Dario

My Friend Dario is in a real creative purple patch, and Hell Yeah are helping him get his music out there in quick time this spring. After the first two track single My Friend ANdrea / Horn comes a second one Tora / Kiki, that shows off yet another side to the Italian producer.

Dario has a sound infused with world music and has released a number of EPs on this label before, recently remixed Calm, and has formerly collaborated with label boss Marco during their breakbeat days. His music always gets big support from disco and balearic communities around the world and he has many different styles in his arsenal.

'Tora' is a rich and supple roller with lush synths, drums and bass all making groovy pillows in which to sink your mind. It's subtly joyous and brims with feel good musical vibes as it fuses house, downtempo, synth and disco in perfect fashion. The golden glows of 'Kiki' are a little more loose, with playful bass riffs and glowing chords rubbing up next to rump-wiggling percussion that will soundtrack the moment the sun disappears and the party gets a little more mischievous.

As well as these two EPs on Hell Yeah, Dario has a new live show ready to go and vinyl EP in conjunction with Phat Phil Cooper's NuNorthern Soul label so there is no stopping him now.

My Friend Dario serves up beats that come from tropical landscapes, guitars that break on the sand like foaming little waves and majestic synths that shine like the sun. This is the sonic vision of My Friend Dario, a new freestyle project by Catania's very own DJ and producer Dario Aiello and one whose rarefied sounds are designed for chilling out and heating up a dance floor!
