Italian, Ibiza-based Tuccillo delivers his new album ‘Nite Stories’ via his own House Of Tucci imprint this July.
Giuseppe Tuccillo, better known under the latter half of his name has become a widely beloved figure in the global underground over the past decade with his records for the likes of Kaoz Theory, Kwench, Nu Groove, Holic Trax and Melodeum finding their way into many a DJ’s record bag. Now though it’s back to his own imprint, House Of Tucci, marking the labels eighth release with a longer player format coming in the shape of the aptly titled ‘Nite Stories’.
Through this project Tuccillo harkens back to the golden age of House music and its deep roots which helped him fall in love with the genre in the first place, opener ‘Go Back’ perfectly sets the tone with funk infused bass and guitar licks, swinging drums and vocal chants. ‘Forget’ then lays down hazy chord and stripped drums with pitched vocals before ‘Sing For You’ explores a more jazzy territory via wandering keys, soulful vocal lines and organic percussion. ‘Runaway’ then edges into a more jacking Chicago feel with twitchy synths, crunchy drums and hooky male vocals.
‘Push’ sees Tuccillo heading back to a sound he’s very well known for with tribal percussive loops and a bouncy bass line while ‘Outta Control’ captures the true essence of sample heavy house. ‘Images’ then dives back into more tribal realms accompanied by dreamy atmospherics and plucked bass tones before ‘All My Luv’ concludes the project, offering up a swinging rhythm section, bright vocal chants and an amalgamation of intertwined keys, strings and bass ebbing and flowing throughout.
The ‘Nite Stories’ LP is out now on House Of Tucci here.
