Conway Kasey returns to Makin’ Moves with the Porto Seguro EP, arriving in perfect time for summer!

This 4 tracker has something for everyone and will work dance floors in equal measure. Jazz Fest and Myrr have already featured on the sold out Unreleased Vol 3 which we released on 12” last month. Jazz Fest is the ultimate instrumental dancer track, an infectious groove that keeps you locked in and peaks in a really nice crescendo.

The Groove does what it says on the tin however more a preach about dancing and just enjoying letting yourself go on the floor. Myrr another infectious groover but this time its the vocal that takes over and has you reaching for the baby powder.

Morning Moon is the most cross over track of the four and takes you back to 1990 with a very clever  sample use of Gyspy Woman that will have you locked in !

Rising from a late-night haze and a chance encounter with the animal kingdom, DJ/producer Davide Del Vecchio is set to release a deeply evocative new track titled “Elephants” on the forward-thinking label Makin’ Moves.

Crafted in a single night after an introspective spliff session on the sofa, “Elephants” is the result of an unexpected spiral into a documentary about the majestic creatures. What began as casual viewing turned into something far deeper. “At some point, I started tripping,” Davide recalls. “I found myself wondering—how does an elephant cry? What would that sound like in music?”

Instead of brushing off the moment, Davide followed the instinct, heading straight to the studio to capture the emotion. The result: a track that doesn’t just mimic nature…it feels it. With low-end rumbles, textured rhythms, and haunting melodic fragments, “Elephants” is a journey through the psyche of a creature often seen as powerful, yet deeply emotional.
This isn’t just a tune, it’s an audio sculpture. A story told without words.
A late-night vision turned into a track that hits just as hard on the dancefloor as it does in the soul.

“Elephants” drops via Makin’ Moves, known for their deep, emotive house and commitment to pushing boundaries. Expect this one to linger in your chest long after the last beat fades.

Produced and arranged by Davide Del Vecchio
Mixed and mastered by Clinton mcCreery
