BUKAREST .RO / LIVE MIXTAPE 16/MAR/012 @ ATELIER DE PRODUCTIE
Day: April 11, 2012
Anthony Naples – Mad Disrespect EP [MSN001]
A new record label from Justin and Eamon, of NYC’s Mister Saturday Night Parties. All the music is lovingly picked by Justin and Eamon, and so far all the records are from new Brooklyn-based artists that they’ve met through the party. The first release is from Anthony Naples. Passion, musicality, restraint, groove: it’s all there. And, crazy factoid, after he was signed, we found out that these were the very first tracks he ever made.
Nick Beringer – First Floor EP [WXC004]
The 4th release on Skylax’ Wax Classic series, featuring 5 trax done by Nick Beringer. Entitled “The first floor EP”, it starts with “Show me” which is one of those eminently soulful house tracks with a sparse approach to production, all the elements sounding so crisp and distinct in the mix but judged perfectly.
Iron Curtis – Thoughts On [4LUX1202]
Iron Curtis debut single for 4lux. Proper House and Disco tracks! The original mix of Thoughts On is a banging Deep House joint with haunting melodies and cut up vocals. The 2012 version provides for a more jumping bassline and hard hitting straight forward beats. Iron Curtis goes mental on Oh Come On with his cut up and vibe-heavy jazz samples and heavy pounding 808 beats. Relentless! On Interlude In The Park the lights are dimmed and the tempo drops. A slow disco burner for those who love slow jams.
Andy Ash – Get Loose [OTP013]
Latest On the Prowl 12″ features the return of Andy Ash. As is to be expected with the talented, young producer, the EP is all groovy, bouncy, high-octane house with a hardy injection of disco glitz. Get Loose is what its name implies ;an elastic, fidgety whirl of dancey guitar strums; a heavy bass that pans in and out, mimicking the experience of opening the door to an underground club; and a playful keyboard melody. Love Me Straight is a spacier affair, with a lounge-y pulse and hypnotic synth hook that creeps in, out, and around your ears. The Deep Space Orchestra remix amps up the bass of the original, making the entire track sound like it’s being played under water. And You Show Me is a perfect example of Ash’s trademarks all coalescing into one big pile of shuffling dance floor fun; you can almost see the swirling disco ball lights through your eyelids and feel the smoke machine juice snake into your nostrils.
