Samuele Scelfo Drops 'Shake Your Body Chart': A Snapshot of Contemporary Tech House
Italian producer and DJ Samuele Scelfo delivers a carefully curated selection that reads as a genuine cross-section of today's tech house landscape. Spanning ten tracks within a tight 128–130 BPM corridor, the chart draws a coherent line between floor-functional groove and the musical depth that distinguishes the genre's finest exponents right now.
The title track, Shake Your Body by Rulers and Scelfo himself, sets the tone immediately — 5:58 minutes of percussive, direct tech house in Gb Major on Unconventional Records. It's followed swiftly by Va Va Voom from Joey London Style on Hot Creations — Jamie Jones' globally revered imprint — bringing that signature swing and organic warmth the label has become synonymous with worldwide.
The selection maintains tension throughout its middle section. Bang by Pasquale Caracciolo moves through Eb Minor with a dark, hypnotic character; Sirens by FIRZA on Sound D'Elite adds enveloping textural layers; and Alessandro Diruggiero's La Noche Mas — over six and a half minutes in A Minor — demonstrates the compositional maturity that defines the Unconventional catalogue.
- Hood Beat – ATLAC (Hellbent Records): Punchy minimalism in G Minor, perfect for intelligent DJ transitions.
- Rooftop – Sante Sansone & Davide T (elrow Music): The Barcelona party institution's label brings Mediterranean warmth and infectious rhythm.
- Meet The Funk – Puff (ITA) & Dan Molinari (Factory 93 Records): The sole Minimal / Deep Tech entry, introducing introspective nuance and broadening the chart's sonic spectrum.
- Hit The Bells – Marian (BR) (Organic Pieces): Organic percussion and a driving Eb Minor progression that sustain energy without artifice.
- Comme Ci, Comme Ça – Bohem (ITA) (Manawa Experience): An elegant D Minor closer that keeps the subconscious dancing long after the music has stopped.
Taken as a whole, Shake Your Body Chart is a sonic document that captures the vitality of contemporary European tech house, with the Italian scene taking a prominent role. Unconventional appears three times across the tracklist, firmly establishing itself as a label to watch. Essential listening for DJs and enthusiasts who demand musical depth without sacrificing dancefloor function.
