I’ve just been introduced to Leo Cavallo an Intalian producer, currently living in Barcelona. His main job is as a sound-designer/editor for Sony Pictures/Creative Software, but as if that wasn’t enough Leo turns his hand very well to the sounds of dub-tech.
His tracks are clean and crisp, while retaining the warmth of the filtered noise and muted bassdrums that dub-techno so heartily embraces. There’s more of a driving urgency throughout his tracks, as opposed to the more relaxed nature of say, Dave Wesley. And as opposed to obvious changes in tempo or sound, there’s some great subtle percussion and sounds going on throughout many of his tracks.
I’m actually really glad that this whole new world of dub-techno has been opened up to me, and I’m loving every minute of it. Finding new tracks, artists and diverging from the big-names, to places I never thought I’d hear.
Leo can be found on Bandcamp. I urge you to make some purchases!
