With synth lines that exude a mysterious flair, this is another addictive acid workout recorded live—this time directly onto the legendary open-reel analog tape recorder “Revox A77,” bypassing the computer entirely. Highly recommended! We’ve stocked the fifth release from 616 aka FILIPPO BOLOGNA, an artist based in Palermo in northwestern Sicily, via his self-run label and analog lab, 616 LAB. A hidden gem with a stronger melodic presence than his other catalog entries. Vinyl only!
FILIPPO BOLOGNA is an Italian artist who has gained a cult following through his work under the name DJ ARP and as SUMMED & DOT—he is, quite literally, a prodigy, and his analog style of recording directly from the machine onto tape, without going through a computer, is simply irresistible. “471” (sample 1) features a lead line tracing downer chords jamming with finely meandering mutant acid. “511” (sample 2) lures you in with its mysterious melody line before unleashing an intense acid rush. This is a vibrant acid production that vividly reflects his unique approach—this release is another masterpiece.
