RS Vinyl & CDs

Review: Riccardi Schola returns with a new double A-sided 7" single that is reminiscent of a private press Italo Disco record from the 80s, but infused with a modern twist and raw production style. The first track, 'Mistake Disco,' features Italian singer Giada Pesce, known for her collaboration on Riccardi's debut 'On My Mind' on the Bordello A Parigi label. The second track, 'M'hai preso il cuore,' is a charming ballad sung by Italian singer Giulia, also known as GGG in her DJ persona, with Riccardi providing backing vocals. Both songs evoke the nostalgic essence of early Italo Disco so sit back and soak up the authentic vibes.

Review: The latest vinyl release from RS Records, their third, is a 45rpm dedicated to hip-hop lovers and wider genre enthusiasts. Produced by Slick Walk (ala SaturnVybz and DJ Robert Smith), Side A features '50 (More Hits),' a mellow, space funk-inflected banger with NYC legends QNC (aka Q-Ball and Curt Cazal). The track boasts crisp, Premo-like drum programming, cloud-like synths, and warm bass, all of which create a sensation of flying or walking on air. Rich in old-school and golden-era references, nearly every bar is a hyperlink to a hip-hop classic, making the track an almost literal hip-hop encyclopedia. The superb No Way Out" (feat Slimkid3 & Moonbeam Kelly) seals the deal on this vital pick up.
