Keeping up a high rate and high quality of release, Dan Mela and Dodi Palese s What Ever Not label serves up a second EP of 2018, this time from the esteemed Simone Gatto with a special remix from Voiski. Italian Gatto is now based in Lecce, South Italy, where he co-runs his OUT-ER label, which since 2010 has become synonymous with house and techno that challenges the norm. His own productions find new life in the underground, roaming between labels like Night Vision, Raw Waxes and his own Pregnant Void. Most recently he served up a two-part album, Heaven Inside Your Frequencies , which combined dark ambient, techno and abstract sound with his professional work as a researcher and came with a book that offered a theoretical and practical analysis of the use of sounds and frequencies. This new EP is another arresting affair that lays out Gatto s unique and varied vision for club music across three very different tracks. It opens with No Regrets , which pairs blissful ambient synths that lift you up into the skies with busy, bristling hi hats and gnarly bass. Thumping drums drive the whole thing along, and the interplay between coarseness and serenity is truly original. Frenchman, Dekmantel and Sheik N Beik Records man Vioski then brings all his scintillating techno skills to the table for a remix. It journeys deep into a cosmic night sky, with sheet metal percussion peeling off the groove as an uplifting synth brings a subtle sense of euphoria to the mix.
