To coincide with the announcement, Naples has made “Refugio,” the first single from the LP available. Listen to the full track here. It’s a amazing how much can happen in a short time frame. At the beginning of 2012, Anthony Naples didn’t have a song to his name; by the end of that year, he’d been heralded as one of the city’s rising producer talents. The genesis was “Mad Disrespect” - a single that dominated Brooklyn’s underground electronic music scene from even before its offical release. The track was a milestone for all involved. Not only was it Naples’ first single, but it also was the first track he’d recorded, period. On a whim, he sent the track to Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter, the founders of New York’s respected Mister Saturday Night series. A regular at their parties but an unknown to the duo, Anthony caught the pair’s attention with “Mad Disrespect,” and ended up as the cornerstone of label’s inaugural release: the Mad Disrespect EP. Anthony’s music caught the ear of a number of people that summer, none more important than Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, who commissioned Anthony to remix his single “128 Harps” - again, Anthony’s first remix at that point. From there on, things sped up. He followed “Mad Disrespect” with a series of 12″ released on a veritable who’s who of influential labels: Scotland’s respected Rubadub label, Four Tet’s Text Records, Opal Tapes - all of which culminated in El Portal, his EP for Will Bankhead’s Trilogy Tapes imprint. Along the way, he was invited to open for Four Tet at London’s Fabric and invited to play Berlin’s prestigious Panorama Bar. And now, a little over two years later, comes Body Pill, Anthony Naples debut full-length for Text Records.
