of beauty and dreams. It also became a way for me to express myself freely and reach
deep into my soul” Nicolas Thys

🎧 New Release – July 15

Step By Records is proud to announce the release of “Freiburg Techno Try Out”, the first single by bassist and soul musician Nicolas Thys, available on all major streaming platforms on July 15.

“I love dance music. I wrote this beat, then started arranging it, producing it, and adding layers of different instruments. I came up with the beat on a train to Freiburg, Germany. It had a techno vibe, and since it started as more of an experiment, the title naturally became ‘Freiburg Techno Try Out’.” — Nicolas Thys

TODAY!! Piano Improvisations vol.3 by Franco Piccinno is released on all platforms.

· Piano Improvisations is a contemporary jazz piano solo project by the pianist and composer Franco Piccinno, blending jazz improvisation with influences from twentieth-century classical music.
Built from simple ideas that evolve spontaneously, the music explores the piano as both a rhythmic and expressive instrument. Jazz elements coexist with modern classical textures, extended harmonies, and an attentive use of nuances.
Conceived as improvisation in real time, the pieces function like short paths that form a cohesive journey, revealing an intimate and exploratory approach to the solo piano.

All compositions by Franco Piccinno
Martino Roberts, Mastering
Recorded in Barcelona, November 2025
