Italian artist Lonely is next up on the Rawthentic Music label with two fresh new cuts that come with a remix from countryman Leon.

Gregorio Giannone is a young DJ and producer who has already been supported by the likes of Marco Carola, Loco Dice and Stacey Pullen. His discography takes in labels like Opilec Music and Lost Records and now gets another boost with this latest offering on Carlo Lio & Nathan Barato’s Rawthentic.First out of the blocks is the firing ‘Sonora’, with metallic hits and shuffling drums that build through various filters, sweeping synths and cut up vocals that are perfectly designed for this year’s Ibiza season.The deeper, more hard hitting ‘She’s A Bitch’ has heavy kicks and raw synth stabs layered under busy wordless vocals that really pump the groove.

It’s a forceful cut that never lets up the pressure.Leon has long been turning out party starting cuts and does so once more here: his version of ‘She’s A Bitch’ features rolling rubber drums and paired back hits that make for an irresistible groove.
