Originating as the E2-E8 radio show on Netil Radio, a namesake label later emerged from the gritty corners of East London. After a string of releases from local talents, the London-based label offered fertile ground for Milan-based Tagliabue to further expand its catalogue. The result is a deep dive into the multifaceted talent of the Italian producer.

On Espansione, music is divided into a four-part structure that moves from ambient to techno. Part 1 & 2 consist of stretched ambient landscapes with shimmering drones and unexpected layers of tribal hymns. Part 3 & 4 each consist of two tracks with progressive techno at its core. A conceptual core that frames progression and ritual as parallel elements rather than opposites.

‍

Minimal Collective’s premiere pick is Essenza. A track that starts in a soft dream-like state while ending with tribal tension. A balance that sketches the album’s dualities and progression as a whole.
