Zerothree & Gai Barone present the incredible Under Zero album project; featuring 6 brand new and exclusive records and a special remix from one of Gai’s feature records “Nexo”.
As one of Zerothree’s most precious producers and the man behind the beautiful “Nexo” and “Monoroid”- it seemed only natural to bring forth more of Gai’s incredible music to the REALPROG family. Gai’s music doesn’t only inspire, it sparks emotion, feeling and joy. True progressive journeys await as Gai Barone explores his musical identity, sonic signature and creative spirit.
Australian talent Luka Sambe brings forward a unique underground take on the anthemic “Nexo” to complete this incredible album release.
This is Gai Barone, This is REALPROG.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The Italian artist Gai Barone has been praised and recognised globally for his music production abilities. His compositions with references in the great progressive house sound with certain Italo synthy 80's infusions and of course strong trancy hypnotic atmosphere that makes the track difficult to categorize under any other category than real progressive. Under Zero is an EP that showcases where the Gai sound is now and where is heading in the future. By listening to all 6 originals included is impossible not to recognise that his sound is more complex, varied and has that sweet maturity of the good old wine. It's the type of music that works perfectly at home or in the club with closed eyes and wide open ears with one single goal in mind and that is the peaceful relaxing smooth journey that manage these tracks to take you up and away. Rolling basslines, chunky tribalish drums and lively percussion while on top his long dreamy synths are combined with his moody strings that create a very immersive and highly infectious result. Chavah is tripping out sonic experience with piano like synthy melody that runs throughout the track adding that space explorer kind of impression in your mind. Walking is more suspenseful and thrilling creating that illusion of walking towards discovery and exploration rather than being casual walk for shopping for instance. Formal is a clubbier more upfront affair with variety of 80's infused detuned type of synthy hooks that work like acupuncture for your body combined with melodramatic epic like strings to build tension and deliver release. Minefract is relaxing and carefree with dream like texture that is continuously evolving and involving the listeners attention. Neena is upfront and driving with balearic trance reference perfect for those early morning sets with long and teasing chilling breakdown leading to the powerfully pumping and thumping climax with big distorted synthy hook. The 6th original track A Kick Maybe has a certain bittersweet taste with dark and colorful fighting inside you leading to the more hopeful and positive climax. Lastly Nexo is transformed by Luka Sambe into a more full on club friendly prog house affair with dynamic bass and thumping kick while the original synthy themes running on top giving a much more energetic epic peak time production. Quality from start to finish! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
