Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label is rapidly becoming synonymous with bruisingly no-nonsense house, having released great 12"s from the likes of Steve Lawler, Butch, and the Mekanism. Seth's decided to step away from the barbecue for a bit and focused his energy on signing new talent to his imprint, as a result, step forward Florentine producer Leonardo Gonnelli.Gonnelli's already released on the likes of Dirtybird, Suara, and Defected, so it's not that odd that he's popped up on one of contemporary clubbing's up and coming labels. His hot off the presses "Tonda" 12" is an acid-tinged whirl round the perimeters of one of those big rooms us dance music writers like to talk about so much.We're bringing you the world exclusive listen to it right here. Yes, you read that right. You can hear it right now. Right here. Right here, right now. We also had a quick chat with Leonardo, and you can read that while you listen to "Tonda" if you so wish.
Leonardo: I'm really glad to be on Play It Say It, Seth is an amazing artist and a great person, so I'm feeling honored to work with him and his label. I remember about one year ago or so I sent to Seth a message to say him "thanks for supporting my track "Soledad."" Seth answered and said that it was definitely one of his favourites of that summer. So from there I decided to send him something I'd been working on and he said he wanted to release it on Play It Say It. I want to say thanks again to Seth for believing in my projects!How was 2015 for you? What was your favourite non musical moment?
2015 was a transition year, I focused on hot projects and collaborations that are coming out on this 2016 .. I'm really proud of them! Mmm.. my favourite non musical moment? I travel a lot and i have a lot of good friends. I can't ask for more. Every day is a great and favourite day for me!What do you want for Christmas this year?
