Mar De Novo - Last Disco on Earth

Mar De Novo is an electronic organic duo born from a chance creative spark between two producers - one of Italian descent, one with roots in Brazil - who discovered a shared love for sophisticated disco grooves, lo-fi 90s lounge textures and the lush storytelling of classical composition. Both in their late twenties and no strangers to the professional music circuit, the pair have contributed to projects on major labels, though contractual ties keep their real names behind the curtain. Together as Mar De Novo, they channel their cultural roots into a sound that’s cinematic yet intimate - a place where shimmering Italo synths meet sun-washed Brazilian warmth.



In the studio, they blur nostalgia and innovation: analog drum machines converse with orchestral strings, soft-focus tape saturation kisses lo-fidelity digital clarity. The result is music that feels timeless - equally suited for dimly lit dance floors, rooftop sunsets and late-night headphone reveries. Mar De Novo have previously released on the UK’s cult ‘Vinyl Only’ label. This first EP for Winding Road Records is a diverse five-tracker which takes in bouncy disco, dark house mechanics, and dreamy downtempo delights.

• ‘Last Disco on Earth’ is a huge slab of disco-fuelled house. Fat grooves, cheeky melodies (Grange Hill meets Studio 54 anyone?) and cool glitchy production. Uplifting and energetic - guaranteed to put a smile on the dancefloor. Digital release date: 1 May 2026

• ‘Over There’ is a twisted slice of bass-heavy undulating electronica, punctuated by crazy interludes and samples that fly in from nowhere. Digital release date: 1 May 2026

• ‘Uncanny Valley’ is a sun-kissed downtempo groover, with dreamy strings, guitars, and horns. Wonderful chilled musicality and like waking up to a summer morning. Digital release date: 17 April 2026

• ‘Reflection’ is a blissed-out sanctuary of space, peace, and calm. Feel-good slow-motion vibes, with guitars and piano intertwining alongside haunting vocals. Digital release date: 27 March 2026

• ‘Find Love’ rounds off the package with a melancholy Balearic sunset groove, with soft Rhodes keys nestling alongside synth lines, telling stories as it goes. Digital release date: 1 May 2026
