PREMIERE: Piero Acinapura – Lowrider [Blackflag Recordings]

At just 20 years old, Piero Acinapura is already carving out a blend of raw, sharp tech grooves with releases on respected imprints including Take Notes, CUFF, and Sound D’Elite, and early support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, Joseph Capriati, and Toman. Rooted in the sounds of Milan, his style continues to evolve through shows across Italy and Europe, and he now readies his biggest release to date with a first appearance on Stacey Pullen’s Blackflag Recordings.

Spanning three dynamic cuts, Acinapura’s ‘Lowrider’ EP captures his young, creative spirit across different moods and moments. The title track was inspired by a Spanish interview he stumbled upon discussing a rave party. Sampling and reworking the spoken word amongst a bouncy, driving groove, the result is a lively percussive cut that feels fresh and spontaneous.
Next up, ‘Skate Park’ leans into more experimental territory. Looking to fuse old-school sounds with modern club energy, Acinapura layers gritty drums and warped vocals into a rugged, off-kilter groove, resulting in something raw, unexpected, and totally dancefloor-ready after rounds of testing and refinement. Rounding out the package, ‘Jam’ was created with the club in mind.
Stripped-back, sharp, and focused, it delivers another no-nonsense rhythm designed to lock in late-night crowds, tailored for the kind of gigs where every detail matters. A confident and versatile debut, the EP sees Piero Acinapura bring his emerging sound to Blackflag Recordings with style, marking another big step forward for this talented newcomer.
