Electronica Romantica by Paffetti aka Black Loops

Known for his celebrated work as Black Loops, Riccardo Paffetti steps into a new creative phase with his debut release under his own name. Electronica Romantica marks a return to Aterral, the Berlin-based label where he previously delivered key moments in his discography. It's also his first release since the acclaimed Always Moving album on Freerange, and a clear signal of artistic evolution.

Shedding the club-focused house sound he's widely known for, Paffetti explores a more intimate and expressive terrain. From the lush, emotive opener Electronica Romantica to the hazy introspection of Dechezmoi, the rugged swing of Keep Ya Nose Clean, and the hypnotic pulse of Yallah, the EP blends electronica, broken beats, and warm textures with cinematic flair. It’s a bold and personal offering—less about function, more about feeling.

Riccardo Paffetti aka Black Loops has, over the past decade, steadily earned a reputation as a dedicated and innovative force in house music.

With his debut album ready and set for release on Freerange in the first half of 2025, Black Loops is entering an exciting new chapter in his career.
