Loddj is Simone Loddi, born in 1999 and based in Milan, and Forbes Italia put him in its 30 Under 30 for entertainment in 2026. That came a year after he won the Italian final of Tour Music Fest, and he has a radio show on top, Loddj On Wax on Radio Dance City 4 You, played off vinyl.
He joined the TILL:AM roster in 2024, with ‘Just A Groove’ made alongside Albert Marzinotto, and there have been singles on Good Custard, Onako Records and Cruise Music since. Davide Messina has been through TILL:AM too, along with kluBasic plus, Knuck! and HOUSETRIBE RECORDINGS, so this is two of that label’s artists on the one record.
theBasement Discos has been putting out house in Valencia since 2012, and this is catalogue number 273. Valencia again, then, after Subsist took our album slot.
The pair serve up some supremely bumpy prime-time house here with KIDS & GROOVE. We challenge anyone not to drop it like its hot the second the initial breakdown cracks open. That naughty little siren sound nestled among the vocal snippets does LOADS for the energetic qualities of this track. Speziato!
