about

"CYBERPADANIA I" is the debut EP from No Label’s new project: "CYBERPADANIA".

Embracing the tempo range of 80-110 BPM, this EP revives the entrancing, slower rhythms that once thrummed through Italy's 1990s and early 2000s club scenes, particularly during the "Preascolto" dj sets that prepped crowds with downtempo techno before the night eventually escalated. In the 90s, icons like Gigi D'Agostino pioneered the "Lento Violento" style, a harder evolution of this "Lento" slow sound. While influential, this sound eventually faded from the Italian music scene as new international genres permeated the local culture.

No Label reimagined and resurrected this genre, infusing it with innovative elements such as a mix of lento kicks and drum & bass breaks, and an eclectic blend of trance and hip-hop, amongst other personal influences. He named the resulting sound "NUOVO LENTO".
The project is punctuated with AI-generated vocal samples from notable Italian figures, including Silvio Berlusconi and Vittorio Sgarbi, adding a layer of uniquely modern cultural commentary.

The cover features a reinterpretation of Giovanni Bellini's portrait of the venetian Doge, superimposed with the artist's own likeness. This coupling of historical reverence and contemporary critique encapsulates the artist's complex feelings towards modern-day Italy, serving as a tragicomic expression of living through a perceived cultural and moral decline.
