Italian stallion label, Nubians Of Plutonia Records, opens its doors for “Ode To Sun,” the freshest four-track delivery of the Varese-based DJ, vinyl collector, and producer Samuele De Santis – or simply S.D.S. Moving away from the feverish tension of the dance floor, the “Blu Mix” of the title track serves as both a ritual and a reclamation, a psychedelic and emotional trip through Samuele’s most inner thoughts and reflections towards the light, the warmth, and everything else our star has to offer. It’s a piece that trades club pressure for personal space, a moment of stillness carved out of the usual nighttime noise.

Premiered here, the “Extended Not So Extended Version” reworks the title track for a different kind of communion. A breakbeat structure takes over – skipping, stuttering, pushing forward with a looser, more physical energy – while the original’s trippy aura remains, refracted through a more danceable lens. Synth layers still drift and coil, but the rhythm now grabs the body first, anchoring the listener in a steady, trance-like sway. S.D.S. keeps the inward gaze alive, yet grounds it in something you can move to. The result is a cut that works the floor without losing its head – a rare balance between movement and reflection, crafted for those who like their grooves with a touch of the strange.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label.
