Wild and wonderful DJ/Producer wAFF’s NATURE imprint continues an impressive run of releases as it welcomes renowned duo ItaloBros with their debut release on the label. Alongside two original cuts on their ‘Sonhar’ EP, ItaloBros are joined by revered Swiss-Chilean tastemaker and Cadenza label boss Luciano as he delivers a stunning signature remix for the B-side.
Opening with the title track, ‘Sonhar’ sees ItaloBros kick straight into indigenous flavours through stunning strings and rippling rhythms that lay the foundations for a captivating tribal vocal over the top of resonant, rolling Tech House vibes from start to finish.
‘Midnight’ comes next, bringing more percussive-focused grooves and pulsating low-end drive. Another quality exhibition of undulating drums accompanied by an intricate and progressive tapestry of synths, strings, pads and subtle vocals, carving out an atmospheric and uplifting club cut with endless danceability.
Luciano closes off the EP with an archetypally unique offering. Sliding into an instant ebb and flow of original sampling and culturally inspired percussive flair, the Cadenza boss delivers a signature slice of that sonorous sound the world has come to love from him, loaded with boundless instrumental swing and thrilling crescendos.
Pairing wonky synths with crisp samples, the California-born, Berlin-based producer specializes in minimal house with a carefree spirit.
