Azzecca has opened a new chapter: the Chicago producer today launched her label Cosimea Sounds and released its debut single, the high-energy club track ‘AL’S HOT SOUP.’ Azzecca frames the label as an extension of her long-running Cosimea party series, a community-first, otherworldly “club world” where genre lines blur between house, acid and techno. ‘AL’S HOT SOUP’ perfectly encapsulates what makes Azzecca’s sound so fresh: insistent drums and bass propel the groove while staccato synth motifs, doppler swoops and wordless female vocal calls create a slightly alien soundscape. The track’s playful aesthetic (cats, aliens, and a wink to Azzecca’s homemade soups) makes the record feel both cozy and energetic in equal measure. Across her releases and sets, Azzecca has built a reputation for mixing house, techno, trance and early-2000s progressive influences into a hybrid that equals more than the sum of its parts. The style favors momentum and mood over strict genre boundaries, an approach that’s now the guiding principle of Cosimea Sounds. That curatorial impulse shows up in her recent mixes, which move from deep progressive passages to left-field breaks and acid-tinged burners, suggesting a label roadmap that values journey and surprise. Azzecca’s trajectory from Chicago underground promoter and party-runner to internationally booked DJ/producer has been steady: she’s been spotlighted across scene outlets and festival lineups in recent years, and Cosimea now gives her a home to release bold, out-of-format music and a platform for like-minded artists. For listeners craving club music that feels exploratory, not formulaic, Cosimea Sounds and ‘AL’S HOT SOUP’ offer a first taste of Azzecca’s cosmic, community-minded vision.Azzecca Launches Cosimea Sounds Label With First Single ‘AL’S HOT SOUP’
