Mat Chiavaroli
War Outside 12"

Three tracks of solid bumping house grooves on this debut release from Italy's Mat Chiavaroli on Kinda Soul. If you told me this was some rare lost Detroit ish, I'd totally believe you. Just check the awesome "War Outside" with those piano loops taken right out of the Moodymann playbook, or the steady groovin' "She Is My Joy" that's sure to ramp up the energy on the floor. Also includes the deep burnt "Soul 1200 Mirror" for the smoked out after hours set.
