After, having signed, in June 2022, the label's most successful record (DE005), Diogo is back on business with EXT033 – Quem é o Criminoso? (“Who’s the Criminal?”). At a time when pressing becomes increasingly difficult for small labels, due to the increase in production costs to clearly prohibitive amounts, Diogo returns home with a collection of tracks in digital format. Materializing the fourth release of 2023 for the Extended Records/Discos Extendes labels, and in a year that seems to prove to be quite prolific for the label Diogo points directly to the dance floor. 4 straight to the point tracks, no bullshit, and in a breakbeat style that we can already identify as his.

“Fallin”, the record’s opening theme, is a declaration of love anchored in a rimshot and in sweet and honeyed voice samples whose crescendo only bursts after 5mins of time. Raising the BPMs “Move Me” follows the same voice and breakbeat recipe, relying more on the relationship between breaks and the strength of “jazzy” chord until the entry of the pad, which, towards the end, transforms the theme into an atmospheric landscape with the beat and the filtred breaks fading into the horizon. But the track that really stands out on the EP is, without a doubt, “I Don’t Give a F*ck!”. With great emphasis given to the low-end, the track is guided by those that are already Diogo's trademarks: breaks, more or less familiar voice samples, and basses that are very present and that, in this theme in particular, hit us in a way very physical way! Around 01:40 the theme is interrupted by an unexpected scratch and we hear a highly recognizable voice repeating continuously “I Don't Give a Fuck!”. The EP ends with a remix of the elusive Tsuri that deconstructs “Move Me” and elevates it to a Jungle track based on the inevitability of the break and on the sampled piano that here becomes a varied and fun stab that guides the track in different directions.

Who is the Criminal? You ask... If the crime being to smash the dance floor, Diogo will certainly be the main suspect. “ – Diogo Vasconcelos, please present yourself to the authorities!”
