xl regular: store duties
Francisco Espregueira
Artisjok Records presents their first release with a fantastic XL Regular's project, titled Store Duties. Originating from Rome, XL Regular, a young and innovative producer, masterfully blends an array of musical genres, including jazz, broken beat, house, and soul, in a groovy journey. Central to his artistic identity is a profound affection for percussion and groove. With inspiration drawn from diverse global percussion traditions, XL Regular intricately crafts rhythms that serve as the pulsating heartbeat of his compositions. The outcome is a sound that seamlessly marries dancefloor appeal with artistic depth, showcasing his prowess across a wide spectrum of electronic music genres.
Store Duties, a collaborative effort with AliA, represents a fusion of traditional and contemporary influences. Jazz elements inject sophistication and intricacy into the compositions, while broken beat rhythms create a dynamic and ever-evolving sonic landscape. Infused with the groove-inducing essence of house music and the timeless emotive power of soul, XL Regular's new album stands as a testament to his ability to navigate and transcend musical boundaries. Available on vinyl - this a great debut from Artisjok Records.
“The album for me is an occasion to fullfill the need to express myself throughout every style of music I want to produce, without forcing myself into genres, something that felt natural for a label like Artisjok.”
