Italia, Diciassettesimo secolo. Adelaide (Ade), sedici anni, corre e tiene per mano Valente, suo fratello, che è ancora un bambino. Deve scappare da Torre Rossa e dalla casa in cui è cresciuta, perché l'accusa che le pende sulla testa porta dritta al rogo: stregoneria. Già qualche giorno prima, al mercato, avrebbe rischiato di essere linciata, se non fosse accorso in suo aiuto Pietro, un giovane attraente che è appena tornato al villaggio dopo gli studi a Roma. Nella campagna laziale, tra le torri di guardia dismesse dell'esercito romano, boschi frondosi e ruscelli, riparato da un muro di rovi, si nasconde un gruppo di donne che si sussurra pratichino la magia nera. Nessuno sa chi siano né da dove vengano; reclutano e proteggono ragazze come Ade, che la società ha messo al bando. È qui - in un mondo di sole donne, ciascuna delle quali ha una storia avventurosa alle spalle - che Ade e il suo fratellino trovano rifugio e vengono iniziati alle arti del gruppo..

The new album by Quantic aka multi instrumentalist, DJ, composer and producer Will Holland is in many ways an evolution. Now 20 years into his career, ‘Dancing While Falling’ is the British born New York based artist’s most live sounding, euphoric and, in his own words, grown up release to date.

The new album by Quantic - aka multi-instrumentalist, DJ, composer and producer Will Holland - is in many ways an evolution. Now 20 years into his career, Dancing While Falling is the British-born New York-based artist’s most live-sounding, euphoric and, in his own words, grown-up release to date. Predominantly recorded at his own Brooklyn studio, Selva, Quantic’s initial idea for his new album was to experiment sonically. However, after a while, he changed direction and realised that the record needed to also relate to the human condition - not just his “singular pandemic wormhole”. The demos, then, started off as symphonic, loosely disco-era dance music – a departure from his previous Latin and Spanish instrumental releases. Influenced by legendary artists in the scene like Bohannon and Larry Levan, Quantic wanted to make a disco-leaning album at first. “I’m really interested in Latin music and Afro Caribbean rhythms and I think there's a really amazing point in history where the emergence of those rhythms and its combination with American soul sparked what we now know as disco,” he says.
