Contributing WriterFrankfurt’s Bliss Inc. joins with a remix
Treasure Island unveils the ‘Visione’ EP on Manual Smiles, landing this May alongside a remix from Bliss Inc. Sitting somewhere between Balearica and Trance, Treasure Island works the filters on his machines to infuse organic rhythm with plenty of acid charm. At times, the ‘Visione’ EP explores slow, low-slung drums, elsewhere bringing high, euphoric energy to the dancefloor through its rapturous synthlines. Magicwire and Radiant Records artist Bliss Inc. remixes ‘Paradise Sami’, reworking the track with a deep, heads-down bass and futuristic space age sound, rounding off a package of adventurous, lose-your-mind dance tracks.
Hailing from the Italian Abruzzo region, Treasure Island is part of a wave of artists pushing Trance-A-Lento, a genre focused on slowing down tempos to induce a trance-like state, alongside acts like Oltrefuturo, with whom he has the psychedelic, ambient-leaning Future Island alias. Having started his musical journey two years ago following ten years of DJing, Treasure Island has left his mark, already appearing on labels like Multi Culti, Warning, Epicure Records and Tartelet.
Founded in 2023 by Brussels-via-London artist Enno (n_o), Manual Smiles has quickly become a home for tripped-out cuts across various underground genres. The label has featured music from artists such as Azo, REES, Nickon Faith, Command Control, and Kajsa Villius and has won support from Roman Flügel, Carista, Spray, Kiara Scuro, HAAi, and many more.
Treasure Island ‘Visione’ arrives on Beatport and streaming 30th May via Manual Smiles, and everywhere else 13th June 2025.
