His debut release, the “Self Aware EP,” showcases Stefano’s artistic vision, musical prowesses and his belief in collaboration, featuring artists as metal head Enrico Tiberi from Shell Collector and 4 Ocean, B. Meyer from jazz Melt Trio, Ayjay Nils (viola player at the Berliner Philarmonie in daylight and crazy producer at night) and his label partner in crime Bobby Starrr. The EP consists of two original songs and two remixes, each a testament to his diverse influences and creative expression.

Self Aware

The lead track, Self Aware, is a radio-friendly hit with a captivating groove that takes listeners on a liberating journey of the mind. Its catchy melody, danceable beats, and straightforward lyrics make an immediate impact.

Remixing the track is on Ayjay Nils who centrifuge the rhythm patterns and melodies of the original track and output a composition of pop / stressed out melodies dancing on EDMish rhythmic patterns.

Feeling Dizzy

In contrast, Feeling Dizzy delves into the artist’s more eccentric side. With its repetitive yet hypnotic melody, intense and obsessive rhythm, and discordant harmonies, the song embodies the influence of decadent literature and existential music that have shaped Di Puma over the years.

The remix is handled by Bobby Starrr who’s in his own style delivers an intense trip for dancehall lovers with groove bass sounds and sustained rhythm kissed by emotional melodies. The beautiful treatment he gives to vocal lines enhance its energy and it’s like having a conversation with Stefano Di Puma himself while dancing on the beat.

These songs are raw and genuine, capturing moments of excitement, emancipation, disorientation, and ambiguity. Stefano Di Puma’s artistry lies in his ability to navigate between extremes and present the two sides of the same coin. His music invites listeners to experience the bigger picture, embracing the dualities that shape our existence.

With the release of the “Self Aware EP,” Stefano Di Puma marks a significant milestone in his musical journey, establishing himself as a captivating indie rock artist with a unique perspective and a boundless passion for exploration.
