The Wind by Urban Heads

We look to Italy for our third release: a hyper-rare Federico Scavo production under the Urban Heads alias.

Infatuated with the thriving progressive house scene in late 90s Tuscany, Scavo teamed up with Alessandro del Fabro and Riccardo Menichetti to create ‘The Wind’ at Black Recordings Studios near Pisa in 1998. A steady diet of Subway Records, US house music and partying at the region’s most influential nightclubs like Kama Kama, Insomnia and Club Imperiale are cited as influences for this record. Since producing it, Federico has gone on to become one of Italy’s best known DJ/Producers, with multiple chart hits under his belt gathering millions of plays.

‘The Wind’ offers two floor-filling mixes of quirky, boisterous, distinctly European house music which have remained a secret weapon in the bags of a select few tastemaker DJs until fairly recently. Whether you’re playing the disco-infused Cosmic Version or the dancefloor weapon that is the Space Mix Version, we have no doubt that this record’s signature vocoder riff and captivating basslines will remain permanently embedded in the mind of everyone in attendance. At Moonworks, we are delighted to have worked with the original producers to restore these two iconic tracks from the original Digital Audio Tapes and remaster them to modern standards. A special thanks to Federico, Alessandro, Riccardo and Ylenia for trusting to bring this record back down to earth.
