Keyboardist FEDE CONTI, who was active in Italy’s electronic house and psychedelic scene, has released a single under the name PROGEDIA via R&S. With his blend of Vocaloid jazz-funk and electronic sounds, plus his captivating live keyboard playing, his future developments are something to look forward to. The work of CHALES WEBSTER—a trusted talent who has been compared to artists like HERBERT since the ’90s—is, as expected, superb, featuring a laid-back, grooving breakbeat and a vivid solo on a distorted electronic piano. The other version offers an even more ambient, ethereal mix. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
