Dekmantel Podcast 089 - Simoncino

Simoncino is a life long student of classicist house and techno. Having soaked up all Chicago and Detroit has to offer for as long as he can remember, Simone Vescovo fomented his own style that draws on the past but looks to his own life for emotional inspiration. Always made with an authentic selection of original hardware such as vintage synths and analog drum machines, his frayed and nostalgic sounds have come on L.I.E.S and Creme Organization, Mathematics and Echovolt. Remixed by everyone from Larry Heard to Chez Damier, this Italian is an adopted son of the cult US house scene who also runs his own HotMix label. All of his influences are laid bare on the mix he has served up for us: from deep and vocal stuff to lo-fi and gritty offerings, there is a timelessness and melodic freshness to Simoncino’s house that really stands it apart. Growing ever more cosmic and spaced out as it unfolds, this trip ends up in a blissed out utopia filled with real romanticism.
