Nico Cardone Unleashes “Addictive”: A Fusion of Funk, Soul & Minimal House

With his latest release “Addictive” on Dialed Records, Nico Cardone delivers a refreshing and vibrant take on modern minimal house—one that’s already turning heads across the international electronic scene. Championing a wave of early support from icons like Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Hector Couto, Amine Edge & DANCE, the track is quickly becoming a go-to selection for DJs looking to inject warmth, groove, and attitude into their sets.

Rooted in old-school funk, soul, and hip-hop influences, “Addictive” channels the timeless energy of those genres and infuses it with the clean, hypnotic architecture of minimal house. The result is a track that radiates positivity while maintaining an unmistakable underground edge. Crisp drum work, rubbery bass grooves, and soulful melodic touches come together in a way that feels both nostalgic and a sonic handshake between two eras.

Based in Santiago, Chile, Cardone approaches production with a clear mission: to merge contrasting worlds into one cohesive expression. “Addictive” embodies that philosophy fully. Its cheerful, uplifting character mirrors his personality, while its stripped-back groove and raw textures pay homage to the underground culture that shaped him. Each layer highlights a different facet of his influences, creating a track that stands out for its balance of character, groove, and authenticity.

What elevates “Addictive” even further is its adaptability. It can spark energy on a peak-time dancefloor or add a subtle dose of funk to a deeper, late-night set. Its refined simplicity gives DJs room to breathe, while its funky soul-driven sparks keep crowds engaged and moving.

 

“Addictive” from the old-school funk, soul, and hip-hop vibe, blending it with the fresh sound of minimal house. Based in Santiago, Chile, my goal is to unite these two worlds to create a cheerful and uplifting track while preserving an underground edge. The song is a true reflection of my personality, aiming to merge contrasting styles into one unique expression.
