about

Applied Magic, the boutique independent label led by Aera, is once again on a mission to bring you exciting dance music that stands apart from the crowd.

We are thrilled to present the newest addition to our roster, the EP titled "Strada Nuova" by the exceptionally talented Italian artist Bar.ba. This collection of tracks pays homage to the small town where Bar.ba grew up, celebrating the simplicity and wonder of youth, and is complemented by a dancefloor-friendly Fango remix.

Bar.ba presents three distinct pieces, each inspired by a place that holds special meaning for him. He explains:

"I wanted to describe these memories the way a child would: in a raw, simple, yet pure way. I aimed to use a mix of dirty and clean sounds, along with happy and simple melodies, to convey the feeling of remembering the pure and simple enthusiasm that children possess. Distant but close, a little melancholic but happy and filled with hope.”

Fango's remix of "Campo Sportivo" infuses a dose of dancefloor energy into Bar.ba's track. With unexpected twists, Fango's reinterpretation breathes new life into the heartwarming original, enhancing the "Strada Nuova" EP with a dynamic and contemporary touch.

In line with the record's theme and to infuse it with a distinct analog charm, it was mastered directly to tape by Embeat Mastering.

Playfully subverting the original concept of nostalgia, this time the artwork was generated by AI, specifically Midjourney, using cues derived from Bar.ba's description of the production process and photos of his hometown, feeding the results back into each other.
