Roberto Agosta, or just\u00a0Agosta<\/em>\u00a0as he likes to be called, is a Sicilian DJ and producer from Catania active all along the eastern coast of Sicily, a place that proved to be a soulful place and a training ground for a long career,\u00a0making him an excellent music selector and a reference point in the spread of alternative music.<\/p>
\n A soundtrack music enthusiast since he was a child, now a vinyl \u2018serial gatherer\u2019, Agosta has always put his vast knowledge at the service of a very personal sound that sums many different music styles and contaminations, simple and profound but straightforward and direct at the same time.<\/p>
\n Agosta\u2019s eponymous album, released on LP, CD and digital formats, was conceived during the Covid-19 lockdown, thanks to the precious collaboration of friend DJ and producer Massimo Napoli aka Galathea, with whom Roberto has already started another project called AN-AN that will produce a new record for Space Echo at the end of 2022.<\/p>
\n This record highlights a typical chill-out aesthetic, thanks to its trip-hop and ambient rhythms and atmospheres, while a deeper exploration reveals the psychedelic essence of the entire work, a daring and exciting journey in the most primitive Sicily, and the energy that sustains all of its ten tracks.<\/p>
\n Much of their author and his lifestyle \u2013 mainly based on meditation, the search for spiritual elevation, the relationship with nature and the regaining of contact with those particular places and with the people who live there \u2013 is revealed by those tracks that constitute a soundtrack for this spiritual but also extremely physical journey.<\/p>
\n The song titles are, in fact, intrinsically linked to Roberto\u2019s real life: the\u00a0Gorna\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Ilice\u00a0<\/em>mountains at the foot of Etna, the\u00a0Carricante\u00a0<\/em>vineyard and its excellent wine,\u00a0Unna<\/em>,\u00a0Three Chestnuts<\/em>,\u00a0Varanni<\/em>,\u00a0Don Alfio<\/em>,\u00a0Lady G<\/em>. Each of them represents a pleasant and dreamlike narration and the escape from the complex dynamics of a city like Catania, among echoes of the most dreamy Pink Floyd, the softer side of \u201970s krautrock, but also the Massive Attack and Tricky\u2019s Bristol scene.<\/p>
\n There\u2019s also an excellent choice of synthesizers and overdubbed guitars, thanks to the talent of the multifaceted musician and producer Salvo Bruno Dub, and of Manuela Amalfitano, Loredana Poidomani and Deran Obika\u2019s voices.<\/p>
\n Agosta\u00a0<\/em>is an introspective, deep work with a cinematic vocation, perfectly rooted in the territory where it took shape, among sunny landscapes, lush with vegetation but also deserted and arid lands. From Sicily to the cosmos\u2026\u00a0enjoy!<\/em><\/p>
