Salvo comments on how proud he was of this track, which is certainly the strongest track on the whole album, and it is no coincidence that it was chosen as the second single. The performance and refined voice of Derane Obika complete the work, her lyrics touching a deep state that explores the relationship with one's self and faith.\nIn conclusion, we can say that in a world where artificial intelligence will only numb our creative stimuli, there is no shortage of creativity here and at the same time, more unique than rare, Go.Soul.Map. remains firmly anchored to its roots beyond passing fads in a space of pure simplicity and creative essence alongside its friend Derane Obika.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Space Echo","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\" - 2175250","offer_id":50399330369867,"sku":"2175250","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_336b3010_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726504515"},{"product_id":"reworks-and-remixes","title":"Reworks and Remixes","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne year after his surprising debut, Agosta, the Catania musician-non-musician and Space Echo Records return to the point with \"Reworks and Remixes\".

Because, contrary to the genre stereotype, the remix mode allows songs to express themselves in creative and experimental ways.\nPoint 2, the Rorschach Test. Because, on those songs, there is the personality, that is, the result of the cross-vision with experience, of the individual producers being measured against itself.\nPoint 3, the stage backdrop. That is, its ability to show a cross-section of the current electronic scene in Etna.\nAgosta wanted some of the pillars of Catania's black-minded electronic scene with him and, together with them, reinterpreted songs from his first album.

They studied patterns that came from afar, they applied to those patterns the natural force of moving with sensuality, they showed that they knew perfectly how to build what rappers, a few years later, would call 'The Perfect Rhythm'. They sought it out in the endless nights of discotheques, of dance halls, from the glitziest ones that would set the standard for Ibizan nightlife to the after-hours clubs on the outskirts of small towns. They succeeded in defining a syntax that, shortly afterwards, would mark, with its influence, the advent of what would become 'club culture'. So many theme songs, often created for the occasion, rhythmic and melodic sequences packaged with the awareness that there are codified rules that can enhance 'body language'. Sequences that, often, with their authors, would then fly to New York in search of the splendid voice to hire for a turn in the recording studio, to give the song that definitive and planetary dimension that has, with great ease, spanned the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Space Echo","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51103557026123,"sku":"2239577","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_c7f015ff_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1736951796"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/space-echo.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
