If you don’t know Primo Zanasi, get accustomed with “scialability<\/em>“.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Primo Zanasi<\/strong> – we already told you about him qui<\/a>\u00a0before – is a gentleman from the sweet province of Bologna, Italy, where the hills meet the sky and the Pianura Padana land fades into a mystical-rural dimension, not too far or different from that in which Giovanni Lindo Ferretti was probably lost with his CCCP at the time of Etica, Epica e Pathos<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But we don’t digress: the gentleman in question is one of those with a passion for vintage rhythmic machinery and the dimension of well-being known as “scialability”<\/em>. A concept that we do not explain to you, without offence.<\/p>\n

Primo is a delicate musician, unknown (perhaps) to the most (and least attentive)<\/strong>; he is part of a very small circle of avant-garde beat-making in our country: that fringe that, while appreciating and knowing the Dillian lesson, does not idolize good Jay Dee and slavishly copies his teaching (and the musical solutions).<\/p>\n

On the opposite, it chooses personal paths, distancing itself from fads, trends, and drifts. In an incessant way, far from the spotlight, for a personal need first of all, and to satisfy one’s own circle and the few intimates they know: this is uppercase Hip Hop philosophy, I shouldn’t even tell you, right? But yet…<\/p>\n

So I find myself telling you how, over the course of a couple of weeks, our friend Zanasi recently published not just one, nor two, nor three, but 12 (yes, TWELVE) <\/em> instrumental albums. Everything was made in a very short period of time, titled with the name of as many colors, between primary and secondary.<\/p>\n

Each of these albums exists in a single copy on a cassette, so come forward if you want to buy the entire collection, and prepare the wallet.<\/p>\n

Fat and loose breakbeats chase rarefied atmospheres, never banal percussions: the dilated low-fi funk of the Italian province can bring you to Nepal. Pursuing a wellness utopia, in full “scialability<\/em>“, precisely, you’ll find yourself rolling between warm and dirty grooves, in a tangle of rustling and lukewarm, the same one I lose myself in now, while I smile.<\/p>\n

I don’t waste adjectives, not even as a hobby. I often pity most of mankind, but with Primo and his music, I feel like a better person.<\/p>\n

So be my guest on this one, I’d love to tell you more about Primo Zanasi and his Production Specs, which I write while I act in a non-place such as an airport, and Primo keeps me company through headphones.

The first beat you’ve sold\/placed? <\/b>
\nNot even one sold, I never received any request and I never tried to sell, I am also a bit “old” for certain things, like…if I respect you, no need for money between us. If papes come, it will come from third parties. I admit that this speech comes easy to me because of the fact that music is not what fills my fridge.<\/p>\n

And above all, because nobody asked me. But I don’t think I’d do it. I should value the rapper, but then I’d definitely give it to him for free. For the placement instead, I never made too many attempts, even there, but once I caught Taiotoshi and he accepted my music, yeah, all done…<\/p>\n
