Aural

Luanda based house music aficionado Leandro Silva returns to Piston Recordings with the fantastic Aural. Leandro has plied his trade in Luanda for many years and has continued to promote and expand his music with residencies in top clubs all over the city. His DJing skills transfer to music production with ease and he has racked up a very impressive back catalogue across many top labels including Piston Recordings, Prismat Recordings and Midnight Express to name just a few. 2016 saw him launch his own label Igual Recordings which focuses on various techno forms and which has seen great support. Nice to see him back at Piston for 2017 and we hope to see more soon.

Aural takes us on a deep explorative journey into house with an alluring gait that will draw you in unwittingly for the duration. A solid drum construction complete with chunky kick drums and shuffling percussions lead the way as a beautifully deep probing bassline weave through the sound. Floating pads and space age synths leave their mark as we find ourselves totally hooked on the mesmeric groove. A must have no doubt.

Viajar Sozinho is a real smooth, deep and infectious track that will grab a hold of you right from the off. A plucky bassline stands out alongside warming pads creating a deep and groovy house vibe. The super tight drum arrangement is made up of lush kicks, intricate percussion patterns and a prominent crispy hi hat that are all destined to get the hips swaying. A sublime offering that will be a most welcome addition in any late night session.
