             Presenting their first release of the year, BrokenHearted 
             welcomes Eleven Of July back to the label for a new EP. Since 
             emerging in 2017 Italian artist Augusto Proto aka Eleven Of July 
             has forged a distinctive sound which focuses on inventive use of 
             melody and rhythm, drawing the lines between global dance 
             cultures without adhering to any fixed formula. On the strength 
             of support from Adriatique, Dubfire, Mind Against and Undercatt, 
             Eleven Of July has been operating at the heart of the melodic 
             house and techno movement. The birth of BrokenHearted has given 
             Augusto a home for his most sought-after creations, a landing 
             spot where the Italian has already released four standout 
             productions across a creative eight month stretch. Now, opening 
             2023 in style, Eleven Of July follows up last year's 
             well-received 'Love Over Reason' with a new two-track showcase 
             entitled 'Drived'. 

             EP opener and title selection 'Drived' finds Eleven Of July 
             composing with a strong sense of space. With each sound being an 
             event in a slowly expanding landscape, zooming out to reveal a 
             world of scale in which depth and contrast coax perfectly with 
             rhythm and melody. Etching towards a darker monochrome, its 
             tough kick drums and rippling bass stabs lead to electrified 
             iterations of new age sonics, where driving percussive 
             arrangements, balmy overlays and ethereal synth phrasing unite 
             for a finale that is equal parts tense and emotive.

             Meanwhile, the companion piece 'Presage' lands with an equally 
             impressive display of craftsmanship. Building with an ultrasonic 
             pulse, its smoky resonance eventually gives way to wavy arps and 
             wispy effects, where textural and structural dimensions blanket 
             rolling beats and percussive flashes, before ultimately giving 
             way to a series of choir-like overlays, onwards to a prophetic 
             finale. A thunderous conclusion to a fresh two-track odyssey, 
             one where Eleven Of July carefully balances technique and 
             musicality, thus continuing his tenure as one of Italy's rising 
             musical mavericks.
