“Making this digital release available exclusively through our Bandcamp platform https://bedrockrecords.bandcamp.com is not only a statement of intent as we continue to evolve to better engage and connect with our fanbase, but also a great way to host and admin our affiliated remix competition!” – John Digweed

Always evolving his sound and pushing sonic boundaries, Stelios Vassiloudis has come a long way and matured as an artist since releasing his debut LP ‘It Is What It Is’ on Bedrock almost a decade ago. ‘Rust’ is an exercise in dynamics and extremes – ambient drones and guitars harmoniously cohabitating the soundscape with sonorous beats and pulsating rhythms – it also perfectly showcases his meticulous craftsmanship and engineering nous.

To accompany this innovative release Stelios has also created a visually stunning 9-minute piece of synched video art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo_VI4vjE9I

KOUSTO_-_Guadapipi_EP_Artwork_LFR003_1200x1200-01

Kousto ‘Guadapipi EP’

Artist: Kousto
Title: Guadapipi EP
Label: Little Foot Records
Cat: LFR003
Format: Digital
Release Date: June 26th 2020
Tracklist:
1. Guadapipi
2. Stanley On The Bass
3. Mermaid Kiss
4. Barracuda Quartet

Kousto will self release on his own imprint Little Foot Records ‘Guadapipi’, an EP focused into deep house. The four songs featured aren’t too conceptual or abstract, but go straight to the point with semplicity and because of the effectiveness of the synths, their laid back mood and their 80s fashinating nature determine also a stylistic coherence between all the EP’s tracks. The only one which mostly detaches from the others is the title track, its loopy vocal parts and the disco influences make it happier and better fitting for dancefloor situations.
