Italian duos Nice7 & Dirty Channels join forces for the first time to deliver the acid induced ‘Feelings EP’ on Crosstown Rebels. The release features two exceptional originals with Toronto’s Nathan Barato bringing his signature heavy sounds into play for the remix.

Having known each other for several years, Nice7 and Dirty Channels decided it was time to build their ideas into a solid project together. ‘Both ‘Feelings’ and ‘Juno’ were influenced by our passion for analog synths and vocal samples together with acid house. After testing them we realised how powerful they were and sent them to Damian who immediately gave us his support.’

Nicola Daniele and Cesare Marocco aka Nice7 are amongst the latest Italian stars to emerge in dance music. Since 2005, the year in which the two of them paired up, they have released on labels like Noir Music, Get Physical, Remote Area, Suara, Defected and Gruuv.

Dirty Channels are Simone & Leme, who started working together in 2008 after long single DJ careers. Releases soon followed for big labels such as Josh Wink’s Ovum, Hot Creations sub-label Hot Waves and Culprit LA as well as licenses on several Defected compilations.

Nathan Barato worked his way onto the world stage with releases on the likes of Cajual, Saved and Hot Creations. 2016 also saw him as resident for Jamie Jones’ Paradise at DC10 in Ibiza. Here he delivers a punchy remix to dominate the dancefloor, centered around a hefty bassline, tight drum patterns and slick vocal cuts.
