EDNIC is the Italian duo of Nicola Di Gabbia and Edoardo Cortopassi, and by all intents and purposes, they’re an outfit that’s on to a good thing right now. The guys make quality, analog-enriched house and techno, the likes of which comes to the fore here on Puas Puas, a vinyl only label that’s already featured the likes of The Mole, Alex Piccini and Carola Pisaturo amongst others. First up on the exceptionally refined strands of the Auberste EP sis the sounds of the original, which is a barnstorming cacophony of acid flourishes and tension-filled motifs. A track that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat for some time, it features shades of old-school electro and techno, and is the sort of track that’ll definitely rescue any ailing dancefloor. The aforementioned Carola Pisaturo then perks up with the first of her two remixes courtesy of her brilliant ‘Church’ mix. A bumping and grinding interpretation on the original, it too keeps the suspense high, most notably thanks to a dizzying array of melodies and a series of potent basslines. Her ‘Botta’ remix is a more stripped back affair, albeit one that still speaks to fans of discerning fare thanks to its relentless attitude. Full of shiny percussion and the odd sultry vocal smidgen, it’s further indication of a producer who looks set to enjoy an excellent 2015. This is classy stuff indeed from the Puas Puas label.
