Santos - Home Sweet Home
Santos, pravim imenom zove se Sante Pucello. Da se zaključit da je frajer taljancin. Iza sebe ima već dva albuma (“R U Shakadelic“ i “Abrasive“) i doslovno hrpetinu što singlova što remikseva raznih frikova. Remiksirao je likove poput Armand Van Heldena, Fatboy Slima, Afrika Bambaataa-u, Meat Katie, Elite Force, Infusion, Friendly-a i hrpetinu što house što breaks bratije. I evo, dogurao čovjek do svog trećeg albuma i izdao ga za Distinct'ive label, najpoznatiji po “y4k“ serijalu breaks kompilacija. S obzirom da je čovjek poprilično produktivan, i stilski je poprilično raznolika produkcija dotičnog. Varira od nekakvih house čudovišta do kičasto-opičenih breaksa. E, sad kad je uvod gotov ajmo se mi primit novog albuma. Počinje sa duhovitim “ding-dong: tko je?“ introm.Moj pas se uvijek uzjebe kad pustim disk. I onda počinje tulum: “I've made progress“ i “Elektro“ obavezno su štivo bilo kojeg breaks partija, a nakon toga stiže na red jedno od prije spomenutih house čudovišta u progresivno kičastom okružju. Nakon ušiju punih sirena vraćamo se na breaks teren i ponovo smo na kvalitetnom breakbeat tulumu.“Combination“ je šifra za tulum. Slijedi “Noizy Horn“ i stvar je baš to, sa turbo zabavnim vokalom. Santos definitivno voli sirene...i bravo zbog toga.“Experiment“ je za ovaj album već lagani ulet u kolotečinu i očekivani nastavak a onda evo iznenađenja: “Tromba“. Prava milesdavisovska truba koja praši po progresivnoj breaks podlozi.“Human Decision Required“ je lagano i dobrodošlo usporavanje s ritmom...i...tulum se opet nastavlja...“Nice People“ u breaks i “Pump It Up“ u progressive raspoloženju završavaju ovaj ultra zabavan album... (9/10)

Santos je talijanski dj i producent rođen u Frosinoneu, mjestu malo južnije od Rima, gdje trenutno živi i radi. Glazbom se počeo baviti sredinom devedesetih, i tada se uglavnom bavi house zvukovljem fasciniran Giorgio Moroderovskim pogledom na zvuk te čikaškim underground brijama. Do dvijetisućite objavio je desetak ploča, i produkcijsku kulminaciju prve faze svog djelovanja doživio je albumom "R U Shakadelic" 2001. godine sa kojeg je stvar "Camels" upala među deset na UK top ljestvici singlova. Ipak, to je jedina stvar koja je to ostvarila, jer Santos ne želi upasti u lagodan život komercijale već počinje prašiti po breakbeatu i svom prepoznatljivom "Shakadelic" izričaju. Na Mantra labelu i Mob recordsu izlaze odlični breaks EP-ovi (70s Sensation, Another Planet EP, No Ticket No Run, Sabot…) te 2003. dvostruki album "Abrasive" kojeg karakterizira masivan "Shakadelic" zvuk. Produkcijski je konstantno aktivan, singlovi stalno izlaze (Shakadelic Drums Vol.1 & 2 npr.), a 2006-e, na poznatom Distinct'ive labelu, izlazi jedan od najboljih albuma godine. "Home Sweet Home" je kvalitetan i zabavan album nakrcan sirenama, funkcionalan kako pri kućnom slušanju tako i u klubu, na kojem se mogu čuti odlične stvari poput "Nice People, I've Made Progress, Elektro, Tromba…". Praktički nema lošeg trenutka …Santos ne zaboravlja korijene, i 2003. počinje redovno objavljivati odlične acid-house uratke pod pseudonimom Maskio, i to uglavnom na Mantra Vibes ili Mantra Smiles sublabelu. Zajedno sa Madoxom, čini i projekt Trouble Soup!, koji je osim nekoliko ploča, izdao i dj miks na Distinct'ive Breaks labelu u sklopu najpoznatijeg svjetskog breaks serijala. Riječ je naravno o Y4K kompilacijama, koje još potpisuju više-manje sva važna imena na sceni (Tayo, Soul Of Man, General Midi, Koma & Bones itd). Hiperproduktivan kakav već jest, stalno i remiksira masu izvođača. Fatboy Slim, Soul Of Man, Afrika Bambaataa, Armand Van Helden, Infusion, Tayo, Friendly, JMekka samo su neki od njih…Iz istog razloga, mnoštvo autora remiksira njegove radove. To bi primjerice bili Lee Coombs, Evil Nine, Elite Force, Jds, Drumattic Twins, Rogue Element itd.
