In the early 1990s, the collective “Fez”—led by Nicola Conte and based in Bari, Italy—released three early recordings as part of a project that would later evolve into “Schema Records.” All three have now been remastered and released as 7-inch singles!! ! The first release in the series features a two-part A/B-side cover of Marcos Valle’s classic “Mentira,” reinterpreted by Quintetto X and originally released in 1994 on the Right Tempo label.
A legendary cover that masterfully embodies Quintetto X’s musical identity—featuring sophisticated rhythms, jazz harmonies, and a melodic sensibility that fuses inspiration from Brazilian music with elements of acid jazz, which was also a major trend in the European club music scene at the time. Originally released in 1994 as a rare EP, this excellent cover has been remastered and released for the first time on 7-inch vinyl as a two-part set on the A and B sides. A 2026 remastered reissue of a key track from the era just before Schema!
