The sound of the 2000s with a contemporary perspective.

Only Bee introduces a vocal approach that feels increasingly uncommon today, bringing together house, R&B and Italian songwriting in a way that feels both familiar and contemporary.

Entirely produced in Naples, the project has been developed over the past few years alongside the Soul Express family and will unfold across the coming months, beginning with “Sembra Vero” and leading towards her debut album this October.

This is the first chapter.

Highlights from The Biloba Studio 📹

Un beso to all the beautiful souls who step into my private space and choose to cross the boundaries with me inside this little box of experiments 📦

The Biloba studio is where music is taken as a real serious thing, a dusty space full of analog gears and where smoking is allowed, of course 🚬🚬🚬

So many projects have taken life here, shaped by the cables, the chaos, the stubborn magic suspended in the air..there’s a final form that only this place can give 👽

Here’s a little recap of my set for @loose.fm .
Thank you so much for the invitation and Mark’s hospitality at his spectacular station.
During the set, I played a few tracks from various friends (some coming out on @soulexpressrecords very soon), as well as some of my own and some artists I respect and admire so much.
It was fun to present this set as a real radio host;
who knows, something might happen in the future.
ENJOY.
Check the set on my link in bio.
The journey continues.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming release in our catalog: Milord - Perfect Crime. Available from May 11, 2026. Wholesale via The Pusher ☆ Pre-orders now open on our Bandcamp.

Enrico Fierro, known as Milord, a daytime engineer and researcher of human mind states during dreaming, has collaborated for years with Periodica Records and co-produced projects such as Danger Boys and Space Garage. In “Perfect Crime”, he presents a nostalgic vision of twilight synth-pop, capturing an urban landscape alive at night and in constant motion, blending street soul and echoes of classic house with textured synths, 808 patterns, and subtle new wave influences.

• Mixed by Raffaele "Whodamanny" Arcella at Biloba Studio (Napoli).
• Mastering by Fabrizio Martina at Oister Studio (Milano).
• Cutting by Frank Merritt - The Carvery (London).

‘The sunshine of Andalucía has come to the Bordello. The musical magpie that is Daniel Monaco arrives with just a hint of a Spanish accent and a daring record under his arm. Known for finding the intersections of boogie, disco, italo and house, Monaco is going that bit further with Manuel Rodriguez for the Flamenca EP. Melting the percussive drive of his machines with the spirit of Southern Spain, the four tracks on offer are a journey into a sound and style that is inspiringly original. Ruffled hi-hats and smooth basslines are the foundation for the title piece. The soul of the Sierra Nevada and the warmth of Granada pour forth through Rodriguez’s unparalleled performance. The claps of Chicago are reimagined as an interplay of melody and rhythm awakens; the traditions of Flamenco married with a modern groove. Talent and technique are coupled with pure passion in the intense instrumentation of “Fantasia” before the flip shifts with “Sìnteme.” The culture of Italy and Spain combine, taut string plucks peppered in handclaps before the Only Bee’s vocals descend. Ardent, the lyrics tell of our shared humanity through the dialect of Ischitella from the southern tip of Italy. The homes of our musicians are the inspiration for the finale. Blending the decadent splendour of Napoli with the old-world romance of Granada, Rodriguez’s guitar is the focus of “Granapoli.” Bitter-sweet, blissful and sorrowful, a lone beat wandering through the winding melody that twins these great cities. From Italy and Andalucía to Amsterdam, a 12” like few others.’

We are pleased to present the new LP on the Periodica catalogue. Onda Biloba will be available on January 9, 2026, in record stores worldwide. Wholesale pre-orders are now open via The Pusher Distribution, and fans can also pre-order directly through our Bandcamp channel.

Raffaele Arcella, known under the moniker Whodamanny, is a hyper-prolific producer and remixer who has been active for many years within the independent underground electronic scene and beyond. Closely associated with the Neapolitan label Periodica Records, he has released and co-produced numerous projects, and since 2023 he has been curating his own imprint, Biloba, conceived as a platform to carry forward the legacy of the Latin Italo-Disco trend that marked many Italian productions from the late 1980s through the 1990s.

“Recorded at his Biloba studio, Onda Biloba is a sunburst bounty of groove, with downtempo jams alive with searing fuzz leads, expressive vocal interplay and seascape synth solos giving way to deviant disco in a dayglo dreamscape. Loved up lyrical spells play against Hi-NRG hedonism while sunburnt saxophones scream, and subtropical nights are soundtracked by amalgamations of sultry summer samba and blazing funk fusion. Equatorial house beats move the body beneath a pan-cultural carnival parade and fantasy flutes fly over stretches of slow dubby dream balladry while elsewhere flashes of sax, drum, and piano create a body burning fire of sweat, movement, and motion.” (Words by Braden Balentine)
