It's a wide presentation of what Sabatini is capable of, from the airy atmospheres of "Peuceus" to the hypnotic bleeps of "Dryalus." On "Perimedes," the fierce kick drums create a banging highlight with "Antimache" bringing us back down to the iconic and well-loved Sabatini swamp grooves.

OUTIS 012EP
|
Outis Music return with a striking, singular solo work from Tozzi. Ecate EP sees the Roman producer bringing three distinct slices of techno, each with its own set of subtleties and the crystal, adept sound design that defines Tozzi's work. "Ecate" is rolling and hypnotic with muscular, percussive bass. Angelic chords come and go, washing the listener in euphoria. "Leto" immediately defines itself as a club track with an unbroken but evolving set of percussion and a weighty kick. The swung, panning drums of "Esperide" give it a disorienting feeling of otherworldliness from the get go.

OUTIS 011EP
|
Techno veteran Dino Sabatini meets up-and-coming talent Luigi Tozzi. The two producers' shared aptitude for adventurous and evolving techno is crystallized in this collaboration. Opener "Manticora" is an eight-minute experience that takes the listener through winding claustrophobia as ringing feedback pulses across the stereo field and cavernous rhythms dance about. "Celeno" slowly unravels under a backing of shuffling hats and a rolling kick drum. Twinkling synths swirl around before giving way to a rhythmic and compelling melody. "Aello" lures the listener in with softer drums while a haunting drone builds up. Over this, ghostly arpeggios develop alongside weightier drums.

OUTIS 002EP
|
Dino Sabatini's Concentrica, draws on the material from Omonimo (OUTIS 001CD/LP) and features a set of remixes. "Sometimes Back" from Howie B, unwinds slowly and undulates gracefully, luring the listener into a dense thicket of sound foliage. "If" augments the original's ambience with rolling toms and translucent curtains of harmonic string-like sounds. "The Unexpected" from ASC is rich with color and a feeling of curiosity. "And it All Ends Here" finds Salis and Sabatini is a dramatic fade-in of music box and environmental ambience giving way to dramatic string arrangements, quick piano stabs and time-reversed ephemera.

OUTIS 001LP
|
Unmixed version. Gatefold "maschinengrau" (recycled paper) sleeve. Producer Dino Sabatini, owner of the Outis Music label, has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities. With one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other planted in a world yet to arrive, Sabatini's works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia. Omonimo brings all of this to fruition in a work that demands (and rewards) deep listening. After the pulsating "Foreword" massages the mind and prepares it for Sabatini's story, "Choosing the Right Way" blankets the listener in a rainy-day ambience punctuated with tantalizingly distant vocal refrains and nimble piano. At once solemn and erotic, it sets the pace perfectly for a set of tracks that have a cohesive feel, yet all use their own sonic vocabulary and color palette to tell unique variations on the story. "It's My Forest," for example, sticks to the reliable mid-tempo trip hop framework while introducing quick snatches of tabla and hovering synth arpeggios. "Follow Me" retains the lush synth pads and cycling percussive loops of "It's My Forest," and then things take a turn for the slightly darker with "The Unexpected," a sudden uptick in percussive punch and apprehensive intensity. The album's main recurring motif of cascading note patterns continues on "Just When I Think About You" and "Sometimes Back," with the former benefitting from a fat, insistent bass synth throb and both of these pieces benefitting from the return of tastefully minimal piano accents. And speaking of piano, the album's feeling of grandeur truly hits its stride with the assistance of jazz pianist Antonello Salis; on "If" and closer "And It All Ends Here," Salis's input allows Sabatini's blossoming arrangements to truly breathe while accommodating his partner's contemplative presence, culminating in free-floating, luminous wisps of romanticism. Nestling neatly between a number of contemporary genres and wisely avoiding their fatal clichés, tracks like the collaborations between Sabatini and Salis point listeners forward to a new kind of compositional freedom, and a style that can melt away feelings of pervasive stress without ever silencing the mind's innate curiosity.

Producer Dino Sabatini, owner of the Outis Music label, has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities. With one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other planted in a world yet to arrive, Sabatini's works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia. Omonimo brings all of this to fruition in a work that demands (and rewards) deep listening, presented as a continuous mix for the CD version (unlike the vinyl and digital versions, on which the tracks are separated). After the pulsating "Foreword" massages the mind and prepares it for Sabatini's story, "Choosing the Right Way" blankets the listener in a rainy-day ambience punctuated with tantalizingly distant vocal refrains and nimble piano.

OUTIS 009EP
|
"It all began about ten years ago in a basement in the heart of Rome; the story of a crew of people who followed a musical ideal and created an original sound and an unmistakable style. After the return of Modern Heads with Chapter II (OUTIS 006EP, 2014), memories once again led me to friends I made during the period of the first productions on Elettronica Romana, and I asked them for personal interpretations of the track 'Beginning.' From the youngest, Claudio PRC, to the veterans. Donato Dozzy and Giorgio Gigli, all together on an amazing release." --Dino Sabatini

Luigi Tozzi, a Roman artist 23 years old at the time of this release, possesses a profound musical knowledge apparent in his productions, which also reflect Rome's distinct musical style purveyed by artists who are considered icons within the international techno scene. "Calipso" elegantly adds subtly trance-like traits to a classic 4/4 beat before the deep, sophisticated, and refined "Ambrosia." "Nostos" is a substantial, hypnotic tool. Outis Music founder Dino Sabatini remixes "Nostos" and provides a different point of view in his own classic and unmistakable style.

OUTIS 007EP
|
Sardinian artists Claudio PRC and Ness, both known previously for their solo projects, their collaborations, and also together as The Gods Planet, journey deep into remote sides of techno music. "Icore" is an obsessive and straight 4/4 track, on which a hypnotic and synthetic arp floats into visceral and noisy atmospheres. Italian artist Nuel give his dry and wild version, and label boss Dino Sabatini completes the EP with a very deep and transcendental remix.

OUTIS 006EP
|
After a few years away from the scene, Modern Heads aka Dino Sabatini & Gianluca Meloni are back with a new 12". This is the second chapter in an adventure that began in 2001 in a basement in Rome and is a journey through various labels, Elettronica Romana, Dozzy Records, and Stroboscopic Artefacts. The duo comes up with a vinyl 12" of two tracks. "Beginning" is the track which this new 12" is based around and includes a feeling of space, harmony, and distant tribal references. "Unknown Route" is a track that you can use as a tool -- acidic and sharp.
