Rising Italian Blackchild (ITA) takes to Solid Grooves to open August as he makes a label debut with his ‘Jazz Ensemble’ EP.

Hailing from Ischia, Italy, Gennaro Filisdeo aka Blackchild (ITA) has emerged onto the European scene following a string of EPs via the likes of NONSTOP, NOEXCUSE and Inmotion Music since his production debut back in 2016. A regular across his home nation, the Italian has since gone on to build and establish a wave of support from leading names including Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers, wAFF, Joey Daniel and Solid Grooves Records co-founder Michael Bibi in recent months, leading to a debut on sister imprint Solid Grooves Raw this summer as he drops his two-track ‘Jazz Ensemble’ EP to open August.

Lead track ‘Jazz Ensemble’ reveals a snaking and hypnotic percussive journey as slick organic drum licks meet rich brass melodies across six minutes, whilst the energy driven, up-front ‘Agartha’ introduces commanding female vocals, slinking hats and driving bass tones to round out proceedings with authority.

Blackchild (ITA) ‘Jazz Ensemble’ EP drops on Solid Grooves Raw on 5th August 2019.
