Varano | tr

Puddu Varano was a duo consisting of Alex Puddu and Morten Varano hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. They got together in 1997, and released their debut album Freakuency in 1998. In 2000 they left the The Chemical Brothers-inspired sound a little and made way for a more disco'er feel on Star 70. The duo's last album, Time To Grow, was released in 2002 to great acclaim and drew heavy inspiration from Mr Varano's flirtations with latin and especially afro music. In March 2003 they decided to go their separate ways. Puddu Varano are now known as simply Varano. .

It is not a debut, but a fresh start nonetheless. After six years and three albums, Danish duo Puddu Varano last year chose to go their separate ways. But one half, Morten Varano, is keeping the music and at least half of the name going. "Step Up" is the first album by the new one man line-up. A delicious and loungy experience in sound, and an oasis of soul, downbeat, latin, afro and elegant pop. .
