UPFRONTBEATS

Italian duo Proudly People join Hector Couto’s Roush imprint this June, armed with three driving, original cuts.

Forming in late 2011, Proudly People, aka Gabriele di Natale and Antonio Cosentino, have since gone on to establish themselves as key players within Europe’s house and tech house circuits, with appearances at the likes of Studio 338 (London), Amnesia (Milan), Hive (Zurich) and Club Vaag (Antwerp) in the past 12 months alone.

Fresh from their latest EP on InMotion Music, and following previous material on stand out imprints including Moon Harbour, Desolat and Avotre, here we see the duo join Roush to deliver three fresh productions in the form of their ‘Damn True’ EP.

Title track ‘Damn True’ unveils an upfront, energetic peak time production that fuses skipping hats, interjecting vox samples and off kilter bleeps and sonics to great effect, whilst ‘Root Down’ sees the duo go to work, introducing crisp drum shots amongst wandering synth leads and a rolling groove line. ‘Shake Dat’ rounds out the package whilst keeping the intensity high, as the focus is shifted towards slick, organic percussion patterns guided by snaking sub-bass and infectious vocal hooks to reveal a driving production geared for the dance floor.

Proudly People ‘Damn True’ is out on Roush on 18th June 2018.
