Next Beat

This project was created in Genoa, Italy, as a result of the meeting between Max Rolff and Carles Zanetti. Their goal from the beginning has been to create a personal sound based on digital manipulation of originally pre-recorded analog material. Since then, a lot of good music has been created through this collaboration, mixing well-cooked beats with fine arrangements.

Next Beat is Oleo's first complete work. The 11 tracks create a path for a new traveling experience, like an ideal soundtrack of our times, with a perfect balance of dance, rock, jazz, and electronics. Sax, flute, vocals, electric guitar, and percussion float dramatically on the beat, energetically performed by Max Rolff on electric bass and Carles Zanetti on drums. The voices and languages of the world find a place in this picture, creating images and visions that add a multimedia value to the music.

In August 2002, Oleo's track This Means Love was published on the compilation LoungBeatz, vol.2 (BMG Germany), and distributed in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
