Renowned social media guitar duo ‘Pete & Vinnie Play’ release debut ‘No Writer’ single!
‘No Writer’ is a guitar-centric instrumental metal project from renowned social media guitar duo Pete Napper and Vinnie Minotto (aka ‘Pete & Vinnie Play’). The London based pair are fearlessly bringing back the 90s golden era of iconic shred guitar duos, with their own unforgettable style of guitar playing that consists of equal parts crushing riffs, blazing shred, and blissfully intertwined harmonies.
Hailing from different corners of the world, Pete & Vinnie Play are social media’s most notorious guitar duo. They met at music university in 2017, where they instantly clicked because of their love of metal music and shred guitar. Their YouTube channel, alongside their Instagram and TikTok have propelled them to online notoriety due to their unique chemistry and entertaining guitar content. Currently at 145k+ followers across their social media platforms, it’s an exciting time for Pete & Vinnie as they begin to launch their No Writer material.
No Writer’s sound is hard to pin down as it fuses the modernity of the heaviest current bands, such as Gojira, Architects and Slipknot, while paying tribute to the masters of shred such as Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and Jason Becker. You wouldn’t be too far off to think this is a fresh take on instrumental guitar music and might just bridge the gap between Polyphia and Animals as Leaders.
Debut No Writer single ‘The Wheel’ is a statement piece that holds nothing back in its take-no-prisoners approach to guitar playing. The song creates an intense atmosphere, alternating between heavy riffs and fully harmonised guitar lines, the track takes you on a journey that portrays the struggle and chaos of modern life.
“The Wheel is the first song we ever wrote”, says Vinnie. “We wanted to show the world how much we love the guitar and how fun it can be. I think it also represents the connection that Pete and I developed over the years we’ve played together”, he further explains.
“The Wheel represents everything that playing the guitar is about,” adds Pete. It has all of our favourite elements of expression on the instrument, and we hope that expression resonates with people the same way that it resonates with us.”
Seamlessly fusing 90s shred with sleek, heavy modernity in its unforgettable sonic palate, ‘The Wheel’ will make you remember how much fun it is to be a guitar player!
Debut No Writer single ‘The Wheel’ is out on 20th September 2024.
Reece Rosé is not trying to reinvent the wheel. He is here to remind you why it worked in the first place. With “Misbehaving”, the rising electronic artist taps into something instantly familiar, then flips it into a feel-good house cut that lands right where nostalgia meets the dancefloor.
Teaming up with Capri Everitt, Reece Rosé leans into warm textures and groove-driven production that echo the roots of early ’90s house and UK garage. The result is effortless but intentional. Smooth chords, playful rhythms, and just enough bounce to keep things moving without overcomplicating the mood.
“Misbehaving” plays like a memory you did not realize you still had. Late nights, no responsibilities, music loud enough to blur everything else. It pulls from that space where time felt slower but nights somehow lasted longer. “It’s a reminder of those carefree high school days, when life felt simple, the nights felt endless, and the only thing that mattered was the music and the memories we were making,” Rosé explains. And that feeling runs through every second of the track.
What makes it click is that it never gets stuck in the past. The influences are clear, but the execution stays sharp and current. This is not revival for the sake of it. It is a continuation. Rosé understands the DNA of dance music and builds on it, keeping the energy light, summery, and forward-facing.
That balance is quickly becoming his signature. With international airplay on Kiss FM UK and Insomniac Radio, plus support from names like AC Slater, Zeds Dead, Boombox Cartel, DJ Q, REH4B, and DJ Craze, his momentum is building in all the right places. On Beatport, his releases are already making noise, proving that his sound connects both in clubs and beyond.
“Misbehaving” does not try too hard. It does not need to. It is light, nostalgic, and built to move. The kind of track that makes you look back for a second, then pulls you straight into the moment.
