"In the early days of his career Slovenia's Valentino Kanzyani built a name for himself as a three-deck wizard of techno. Here on his Cadenza Cycle podcast he demonstrates that he still has a passion and a flair for mixing with the black gold.
Through the crackle, pop and hiss of his records, we see what he sees, and feel what he feels. Manually weaving together fresh underground house and future leaning techno from Europe and beyond, there's a raw and loopy vibe to his set. The rhythms are sometimes complex with multiple dimensions, at other times, the beats are simple Chicago affairs, with classic house structure and pure analogue goodness.
The subtle changes in mood and tone throughout his Cycle mix remind us of one of those long afterparty sessions where the music just keeps flowing all through the next day, and it pushes you forwards without ever using any obvious breakdowns and energy-sapping pyrotechnics.
You can hear a little bit of Detroit in Kanzyani, and a fair amount of Romanian influence too - Kanzyani says that he is currently making and playing music with a lot of Romania's new breed, and indeed his Next Wave parties in Ibiza are aimed at highlighting that same Eastern Europe talent.
Valentino Kanzyani's Source mix features a blissful selection of electronica, downtempo treats, and broken beats with tracks from Brian Eno, Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer, Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Massive Attack and Autechre. It gives us some insight into who he is as an artist today.
On 30 April Kanzyani will see the release of his debut EP for Cadenza, titled Love and Gratitude EP1. The EP is the first in a series of releases for Cadenza, which will culminate in the release of his album later this year."
