Anjunadeep will be the home for Italian superstar to release his anticipated debut album Enter on April 5th.

Durante
Kevin Durante otherwise known to us as Durante, has been dabbling in the genres of techno and house. Hailing from a small Italian village around Florence, he kick started his musical journey all the way back in 2006. The boy from Italy has come a long with releasing music on other esteemed labels such as Armada, Openers and W&O Street Records. Durante has dropped countless singles, collaborated with the likes of Amtra, Diplo and more. He has gone on to remixing tracks by Booka Share, Cassian and more. If you are a diehard Anjuna fan like me you would have caught him in the act of his amazing sets at the Anjuna Open Air series or Anjunadeep Explorations over the last year. What’s been missing for the lad is an album, which we are most excited about.
Enter
The official release of Enter a 13-track LP is set for April 5th. Durante speaks a bit about this album channeling his electric influences. It will explore the concept of portals and multiple dimensions. He credits his influences for this magical journey to Duke Ellington, early Cocoon records and to his home of classic Italian disco. He will explore the themes of acceptance, love and self-discovery. The album will include the likes of CRi, HANA, Nathan Nicholson, Running Touch and SOHN. Durante shares a bit about his journey through the three years of producing his dream, debut album
I’ve spent the past three years working on this album, it marks the beginning of many great endeavours in my life. It’s a coming of age story, but it’s also a reflection on the world around us. I’m happy to be able to share my emotions through music, because the words escape me. Hopefully you can find solace in the sound. Open your eyes, enter the portal to the sixth dimension.
