\u201cHandful of Soul\u201d, Mario Biondi\u2019s debut album \u2013 triple platinum at the time \u2013 and to this day still by far his greatest success, was released in the Fall of 2006: a bolt from the blue that immediately reached the top positions of the charts. To celebrate ten years of his recording career, the Sicilian singer has come back last November with a new project: \u201cBest of Soul\u201d, a 2-CD set that combines songs spanning throughout his entire discography and seven unreleased tracks produced by Schema Records.<\/p>\n
Since the very beginning, Mario\u2019s songs proved to be a perfect material for an electro \/ dance \/ dub rework, and \u201cStay with Me\u201d, the first single from \u201cBest of Soul\u201d, is no exception: in fact, the A-side of this 12-inch EP is covered by two different versions of that song produced by Luca Trevisi a.k.a. LTJ Xperience, legendary DJ and producer, active since the 80\u2019s in the central Italy clubbing scene and today one of the greatest names in the electronic music scene.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, the original version of \u201cStay with Me\u201d is accompanied by another unreleased track, \u201cNever Stop Dreaming\u201d, also coming from the recording sessions of \u201cBest of Soul\u201d; it perfectly fits Mario Biondi\u2019s unique style: a music background suspended between soul and rhythm\u2019n\u2019blues, in support of a warm, deep voice, carrying its distinctive and instantly recognizable tone.
\nThis EP is therefore a must for both fans of Mario, as it contains the only \u2018physical version\u2019 of the song \u201cNever Stop Dreaming\u201d, and for any dancefloor DJ, who\u2019ll find outstanding material for their mixes in LTJ Xperience\u2019s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
