Diego

Released in 2021, Diego is a four-track EP that serves as a concentrated distillation of Gotts Street Park's signature 'cinematic soul' aesthetic. Moving away from their frequent collaborations with vocalists, this release focuses entirely on the instrumental chemistry of the Leeds-based trio. The project was recorded live to tape, a process that preserves the natural imperfections and 'air' of the room, contributing to its distinctively vintage, noir-inspired atmosphere. Critics have noted the EP's ability to bridge the gap between 60s soul-jazz and modern downtempo hip-hop production. While brief, the EP is structurally cohesive, moving from the melodic focus of the title track to the more skeletal, thematic closing of 'Enzo’s Theme.' It stands as a pivotal entry in their catalog, proving their ability to carry a narrative arc without the need for lyrical intervention.
