Driven by a deep love for jazz and Black music, this DJ from Catania, Italy—now based in Sicily—has played an eclectic mix of music centered on hip-hop and acid jazz. ASSIMO NAPOLI—a DJ from Catania, Italy, based in Sicily—has released the long-awaited new EP from his project, GALATHEA. It features a crossover Afro/tropical Brazilian atmospheric tribal deep house track based on the 1973 classic “Samba De Sausalito” by Nicaraguan percussionist Chose “Chepito” Areas—a song made world-famous by Carlos Santana’s version—a crossover Afro/Tropical Brazilian atmospheric tribal deep house groove. Once again, the soothing beats and grooves of this release transport you to a dreamlike world. Side B’s “The Invisible Session Rework” (sample 2)—which features a more spontaneous session-like feel while still maintaining the discipline of dance music—is elegant and supple.
