PRE-ORDER❗️Kikko Esse - Wisdom of Many Minds EP (FOURFRAMED008). Southern Italian producer @kikkoesse makes his debut on Four Framed Music with Wisdom of Many Minds. Rooted in funk and soul, his sound draws on the timeless spirit of Chicago, deep and Detroit house, while adding a warm musical touch of his own. Four deep house cuts built on groove, musicality and timeless appeal. Opening track Solo Imperiale sets the tone with warm Rhodes chords, organic percussion and a rolling bassline. Detroit legend @rickwade1986 puts his unmistakable stamp on the original with a signature deep house reinterpretation, adding dusty chords, loose percussion and a deep rolling groove. On the flip, Echoes of The Tribe explores a more organic and spiritual direction, while @trinidadiandeep closes with a signature deep dub house remix, blending organic percussion, warm sub bass, lush pads and subtle organ improvisations. Two originals from Kikko Esse, remixes by Rick Wade and Trinidadian Deep, bringing together three distinctive takes on timeless deep house.

Italian selector and long-time house devotee @kikkoesse makes his first outing on the @fourframedmusic label and shows craft, with funk and soul running alongside nods to Chicago, deep house and fresh Detroit swing. ‘Solo Imperiale’ kicks things off with those warm Rhodes chords and a rolling bassline that just locks in. @rickwade1986 steps in on remix duties and does exactly what you’d hope with dusty, loose, deep drums. ‘Echoes of The Tribe’ pulls in a more earthy and spiritual direction and @trinidadiandeep closes things out with a dub-leaning remix, thick with sub-bass. Super stuff. Link in bio!

Southern Italian producer Kikko Esse makes his debut on @fourframedmusic with Wisdom of Many Minds. Rooted in funk and soul, his sound draws on the timeless spirit of Chicago, deep and Detroit house, while adding a warm musical touch of his own. The result is a collection of four deep house cuts built on groove, musicality and timeless appeal.

Opening track Solo Imperiale sets the tone with warm Rhodes chords, organic percussion and a rolling bassline. Its hypnotic groove strikes the perfect balance between musicality and timeless dancefloor appeal. Detroit legend @rickwade1986 puts his unmistakable stamp on the original with a signature Detroit deep house reinterpretation. Dusty chords, loose percussion and a deep rolling groove come together in a timeless remix that perfectly reflects his iconic sound.

On the flip, Echoes of The Tribe explores a more organic and spiritual direction, combining earthy rhythms, warm melodies and hypnotic grooves.
@trinidadiandeep rounds off the release with a signature deep dub house remix, blending organic percussion, warm sub bass, lush pads and organ improvisations into a spacious, meditative groove.

With two original productions from Kikko Esse and remixes by Rick Wade and Trinidadian Deep, Wisdom of Many Minds brings together three distinctive artists, each with their own take on timeless deep house.

Thanks to @bordelloaparigi for the distribution ❤️

Is clubbing dead? 🇺🇸

No.

A certain way of thinking about clubbing is.

⸻

I've seen venues that seemed eternal be born and die.
I've seen empty dance floors suddenly fill up.
And I've seen the opposite too.

That's why I can't believe the night is over.
It's simply changing shape.

⸻

Once, the club was THE place.
Today it's just one of many possible places.

Maybe that's the real revolution.

⸻

People no longer look only for a dance floor.
They don't buy just a night out.
They buy an experience.

And they have endless alternatives:
50, 80, 100 euros for something they'll remember,
or a cheap flight to Ibiza for unique shows.

⸻

That's why I believe more and more in formats.

A party needs:
a name
a face
a language
a music
an audience
a story

It has to be recognizable.

⸻

And let me be very clear.

The solution isn't simply booking the most famous DJ.

The future doesn't necessarily belong to the biggest name,
or to the staff and PR behind them.

⸻

The night isn't dead.
We will never stop dancing.

⸻

This is the idea behind Sofà Grooves.

A vinyl DJ set format:
The Vinyl Listening Experience.

But also a community, created to show this generation
what a real music format is
and what the real vinyl experience feels like.

⸻

A Sofà Grooves night is a magical, immersive experience.

The audience follows the DJ's work up close
and engages with the DJ directly,
in a warm, welcoming environment. 🖤
