Rawthentic brings in Spanish-born, London-based artist u z z v for a standout debut with the Gallo Negro EP, a stripped-back, groove-heavy release that lands straight in the pocket. Leading the charge is the title track Gallo Negro. A moody, percussive cut featuring P4, fusing low-slung rhythms with hypnotic textures and just the right amount of tension.
Sleek, subtle and perfectly weighted for the dancefloor. The second track, Habibeat, shifts the energy into a more playful and exotic territory. Driven by rolling percussion and an irresistible bassline, it blends percussive swing with Middle Eastern–tinged motifs, creating a hypnotic groove that feels both organic and futuristic, a peak-time weapon with character and depth.
Founder of 12+1 London and a staple in the international underground, u z z v brings his sharp, left-of-centre energy to the label, blending minimal flair, club functionality, and forward-thinking sound design. Rawthentic, the influential imprint founded by Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato, continues to carve out its place as a destination for cutting-edge underground sounds. Gallo Negro EP is available now for pre-order on Beatport.
Release date: August 29th, 2025.
