Cigarette Music kicks off its 2023 activities with a new vigor and releases the first episode of a Various Artists EP Melodic Techno series named "Darknoon"; five tracks per release, all focused on the the night club dance floor. The names included along the way are largely emerging and exciting producers from all over the world who are being welcomed into the Rome stable fold for the first time. Darknoon # 01 is introduced by six international artists as Jochem Hamerling (Netherland) , Edem & Govan (Italy), Michael Ritter (Germany), Susfractor (Colombia) and Ingemann (Norway), presenting 5 Original Mixes specifically conceived for the project. The new project pairs with the namesake clubbing party Darknoon, born in Ibiza in early 2016 from the same team of Cigarette Music and randomly staged over time to other European cities such as Rome, Paris and London.
