legendary 2003 album incl numb now on splatter vinyl !

diese ep könnte wohl der höhepunkt von filippinis (alias enrico -big city- filippini) karriere in der italo-disco sein. ohne zweifel ein ausgefeilterer höhepunkt innerhalb des genres, elegant und effizient konzipiert, mit weniger grammatikfehlern als viele seiner zeitgenossen. in einem downtempo-tempo, das sich in den unteren 100ern bewegt, nimmt sich enrico zeit für die nostalgischen texte, die zuversichtlich versuchen, einige fragwürdige vergangene romantische affären zu kitten. eine produktion mit melancholischen nuancen, die ihren platz zum beispiel in einem mix des verstorbenen visionärs dj zecky sehr verdient hätte.

die erste platte besteht aus edits, verschlungenen loops, perkussiven beats und fesselnden grooves - eine synthese aus ineinander verschlungenen erinnerungen. es ist ein experiment, eine suche nach bedeutungen - eine bescheidene hommage an die genres, die mich geprägt haben, und an die künstler, die meine inspiration immer wieder beflügeln.

der zweite teil ist meine persönliche geschichte und meine erinnerungen, oder besser gesagt, fragmente davon. es geht um meine heimatstadt jekaterinburg, die teufel aus dem uralgebirge, die von überall her in meine persönlichkeit eindringen, die zeit in moskau, die meine widerstandskraft gestärkt hat, und das kapitel des umzugs nach spanien auf der suche nach einem helleren horizont. dies sind nur bruchstücke von erinnerungen, dank derer ich hier und jetzt bin.

ltd 2023 opaque violet vinyl repress - listen to your heart is the result of a year of cross-continental scripting, started in their hamburg studio and wrapped up stateside in san francisco s room g studios where the duo had worked on their 2014 lp see you when you get there . sampling still remains an ever present backbone throughout the album. session victim have dug deep for sounds, resulting in a richly detailed and organic sound collage that goes hand-in-hand with their live instrumentation, this time enhanced through several guest musician appearances, most notably carsten -erobique- meyer (ex-international pony). smooth guitar samples are built up on over and over while on moons & flowers the live instrumentals that session victim do so well come to the fore.

lyon-based beatsmith ethyène has patented a certain style of mid-tempo house music applying a french touch aesthetic to disco, r&b and hip-hop sample references. through releases on longtime underground favorite kolour ltd and upstart labels like kyoku, as well as contributions to his own moonrise hill material, the frenchman has quickly built a sought after discography. his collaboration with better listen comes at an interesting time, as he seems to really be refining his sound, maturing sonically and honing the synthesis of the aforementioned influences to something nicely unique. the playin with fire ep is a deliciously bittersweet four track affair. the a1 slot sees e joining forces with his homie, the much acclaimed folamour, for the superlative why my love. meanwhile, loneliness of the shadow dancer- continues the r&b cream vibes, combining a classic head-nodding hip-hop flip with a soul chorus. the b-side gets a bit moodier, with the title track climatically building on hypnotically deep riffs and vocals and i sold yayo to buy kicks serving as the bob james-esque closer. the package is a cohesive reflection of a pensive and slightly anguished mindstate, with boom bap cultural influences and his familiar philadelphia streets functioning as the canvas. dont be surprised if this record serves as a point of stylistic elevation for the young producer, with plenty more of this new ammunition in the chamber. and you know the saying: if you play with fire, you might turn into a scorching hot phoenix.
