Review: The mysterious DJ Python is said to be arguably NYC's first deep-reggaeton artist. He appears next on Anthony Naples' Proibito. On the A side, the trippy and looped up minimalism of "Tranquila" is a perfect groove for trancing out in the sunlight, while by contrast "Cuidado" is more suited to the night in a Brooklyn basement; this deep and dirty tribal groove is perfect for dancefloor trance induction. Finally "Sunset Groove" kinda does exactly what it says on the tin really; and those uplifting and hypnotic synth strings just rise and rise, getting some real euphoric feelings happening. Python himself is said to claim this will be a huge open-air record: he's not wrong!

Review: Like many of his contemporaries, US producer Huerco S usually deals in wavy, trembling house amalgams, but also often deals in all things ambient and beatless. This new LP on Anthony Naples' Proibito, however, is a marked step in a different direction from the artist, and it shows us that he's more talented at the genre than merely a B2 stuck on at the end of a techno deviation. For Those Of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have) is a stunning ambient album; each track across its duration is filled with life and purpose, a clear musical and expressive direction that many so-called ambient artists lack. It's likely to be remembered for a long time, and allow this artist to be seen as having a truly experimental mindset.

Review: Following that Initials-only split from Hank Jackson and Anthony Naples, Proibito keep up the heat with a label debut for Hi & Saberhagen. The Glaswegian pair were brought to many people's attentions last year thanks to Andy Thomson's perennially on-point Huntleys & Palmers label who put out a self-titled debut from Hi & Saberhagen. It evidently made an impression on young Tony Naples who has coaxed a triplet of cuts out of Hi & Saberhagen for this Qyzyland single. Their approach takes in freaky electro synth tones, occasional coldwave notes and stripped back drum workouts, spread across three fine, full-bodied tracks with "Tom Party" our pick!

Review: Huerco S has long been a mainstay of Anthony Naples' Probito label, and has delivered material for the label under a variety of pseudonyms since its' launch in 2013. His latest missive for the imprint is, unsurprisingly, rather special. It's the near 10-minute A-side "Rushing to Paradise" that really stands out. Following a long, suitably intergalactic ambient build up, the track quietly builds in intensity whilst retaining an overwhelming sense of hazy, sun-kissed blissfulness. It's the kind of enveloping, saucer-eyed deep house track that you could take to a desert island, listen to on a loop for weeks, and never get bored of. It really is a sublime piece of shuffling cosmic house.

Review: Huerco S returns with this long delayed offering for the quietly impressive Proibito label under the shortened HS mantle. Keen followers of Huerco S will of course know the Brooklyn transplant inaugurated Anthony Naples' label last year with the rarely used Royal Crown Of Sweden alias and the four tracks on this A Verdigris Reader EP prove to be just as intoxicating. It's also arguably Proibito's most experimental release so far; compare the ambient amble of "A1" with Hank Jackson's offering for the label or the Levon-esque "POT" from Naples himself. Our tip of the four is "B1" which is little more than a dull siren constantly trying to reach its peak tone over crunched up percussion but the results have you pulling the needle back again and again.

Review: Anthony Naples' blooming Proibito imprint was launched earlier this year with a record from Huerco S under his newly adopted Royal Crown Of Sweden alias, supplying the crunchy deep house of the R.E.G.A.L.I.E.R. EP. Maintaining the label's ethos to highlight rising talent from across North America, Proibito return here with Local Artist, a search engine vexing producer who seems to brandish affiliations with the rising Mood Hut collective based out of Vancouver. His/her self titled four track effort continues Proibito's dalliances with the rawer end of the 4/4 spectrum with cuts such as "Mr. Kiwi" and "004" notable for the viciousness of hammering cowbells and crisp hi-hats. Those seeking something deeper should turn to "Sun Raw" and "Mansion of Hours" which demonstrate Local Artist eminently capable of crafting dubbier and moody productions too.

Review: A seventh release on Proibito arrives and it finds label boss Anthony Naples switching things up as the full artist approach is cast aside in favour of some posse gathering tactics. Label regulars Hank Jackson and Huerco S both feature (the latter under his newly helmed Independence Ave. Orchestra pseudonym) and they are joined by Proibito debutants Alex Falk and Jackson Lee - both of whom have priors for Proper Trax and Mystical Disco respectively. "Mitsuda" by Falk is a strange, ghostly slab of techno characterised by odd phasing and the occasional gurgle of stretched tape, whilst "Mongoos" from Hank Jackson keeps it weird but turns the mood towards something a lot frostier. "Sumba Togola" from Jackson Lee mangles up all manner of vocal samples amidst a twisting groove of manipulated bass lines and unpredictable drum programming whilst the glistening "Welfare" suggests Huerco S is using the Independence Ave. Orchestra name to show a different aspect of his productions skills.

Review: The Year Of Naples continues apace here as the celebrated Brooklynite Anthony Naples opens proceedings on his newly formed Proibito label with a sublime EP from Royal Crown Of Sweden. More commonly known as Huerco S, those who've enjoyed the Kansas based producers murked out house deviations for Opal Tapes, Future Times and Wicked Bass will be pleasantly surprised that Royal Crown Of Sweden is relatively straight forward experiments with a drum machine and 4 bar samples. The R.E.G.A.L.I.E.R. EP takes its cue from an old Pau Johnson record and the three original cuts veer lopsided through dusty DJ tools . For added interest, lead track "Vanern" has been rewired on the go by L.I.E.S. duo Steve Summers and Bookworms with some assistance from their friend Lori - the results will please anyone whose been digging their Confused House output.

Review: The hitherto unknown Hank Jackson came to the fore earlier this summer with Deposit, the sixth release on Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter's Mr Saturday Night label, a three-track EP that marked him out as an exponent of gritty, mechanical weirdness that wouldn't sound out of place on an Opal Tapes release - "Cole's Lullaby" in particular. With little subsequent information on the Southern Californian out there, the focus remains on Hank Jackson's productions and this new release for Proibito proves to be every bit as distinctive. The stodgy concrete seriousness of the title track's opening moments are offset by the most playful of percussive rhythms, whilst "Sizzler" retains the frazzled distortion that marked Jackson's debut release. It's "Track 3" that stands out for us however; the playful and distorted elements of the other two tracks are present, yet it's distinguished by what might be the sound of garbled duck whistles ripped in several direction simultaneously, lending it a bizarre charm reminiscent of Mr. Oizo at his weirdest.
