Abo, TOMO, Plastique01

DE RIO 001 is the first release of the collective from Florence ‘DE RIO’ as a newborn label.

The record is a V/A born and conceived in 2021 featuring three banging dj-tool tracks from DE RIO’s residents. The sound and stylistic research of each artist is shown in different sides of techno music: on the A-side we find ‘Climax’ by Abo, a trance-y, progressive, acid track, mixing glitched sounds and acid basslines, evolving and turning into continuous and frenetic drops; TOMO then delivers breaks and Detroit stabs in ‘Banagalore’, a big-hitting-kick, percussive and warehouse-oriented track. The Ep is closed on the B-side with ‘Red Dial’ by Plastique01: a solid 90’s rhythm with a dreamy and romantic pad giving life to a 145 BPM proper techno track.

Tracks written and produced by Daniele Carcassi, Tommaso Andorlini, Giulio Da Rin. Mastered by Giovanni Onorato at KHM, Stockholm (SWE). Graphic Design by Enrico Caldini.
