Universo Astratto

Fans of the most sophisticated and refined club music, elevated by the fusion of exquisite electronica with spiritual jazz, African-American rhythms and tribal percussion, will be thrilled by this complex and multi-layered album, which unveils new hidden details upon each listen. Nicola Conte and Bari-based producer Nico Lahs' Tema Due project finally comes to full realization in the double LP Universo Astratto, thanks also to the precious contributions of Giovanni Guidi, Pietro Lussu, and Dario Bassolino on keyboards, Gabriel Prado and Abdissa Assefa on percussion, Magnus Lindgren on wind instruments and Hammond organ, and Pasquale Calò on saxophone. On vocals we have Lalin St. Juste, Siya Makuzeni, Nina Miranda and Toco - for a new and previously unreleased version of the track "Macumba de Oxalà" featured on the first EP. The final result is an invitation — to move, to feel, to elevate — and a manifesto for those who see the dance floor not just as a location, but as a shared experience of awareness and rhythm.
