workerz: club niellucciu
Francisco Espregueira
Workerz' Club Niellucciu is a sonic tribute to the rich traditions of Corsica, wrapped in the rhythm of modern beats crafted by a variety of producers. The Corsican is known for his ability to energize any dance floor with tracks often described as having a deep, reflective, electronic background. His new release, via the homonymous Club Niellucciu, is an explicit tribute to the winemakers and winegrowers of Patrimonio, the region of Corsica where the Niellucciu grape—the island's most famous red variety—is the backbone of their robust, characterful wines. The project embodies the independence and magical sense of celebration found in the island's unique wine culture.
The deep, immersive atmosphere of Club Niellucciu invites listeners to sip from the cup of Corsican culture. The Niellucciu grape, which is genetically related to Italy's Sangiovese, thrives in the sun-drenched, clay-limestone soils of Patrimonio. Workerz & friends channel this fusion of Mediterranean tradition and intense regional character into a collection of tracks that likely blend deep house rhythms with the kind of sun-kissed, celebratory atmosphere you'd expect from a southern European dance floor. It’s a project that asks listeners to raise a glass to the strong, flavorful, and independent spirit of Corsican wine with every beat drop. Available on vinyl.
