about

Following on from a full-length album of grainy, synth-laden house on Mathematics, and equally unique EPs on Thug and LIES, Simoncino makes his debut on Dutch label Creme Organization with five suitably esoteric house offerings.

Two of the inclusions, Interval I and Interval II, are serene ambient pieces that showcase this Italian’s serious synth-scaping skills, whilst the other three are gorgeously romantic and nostalgic house tracks made for the more sensitive dancefloors out there.

Tape 1 is the meanest, with a growling bassline and splashes of loose-limbed percussion, where Tape II is much more uplifting owing to the celestial patterns that twinkle above muggy and muddled Chicago drums. Tape III is downbeat and melancholic thanks to the subdued, rubbery bassline, but more golden pads light up the thing with plenty of very real, cautiously optimistic emotions. This is house music to take you to another world entirely, and it’s a fine place to be.

"sweet!"
Delta Funktionen (Ann Aimee, Berlin)

"I like the nice and warm retrofeel the four tracks have. Tape 2 wins the price for best post B12 reincarnation. Who themselves also were kinda retro, back then. "

"musically nothing new on here, rather looks back 20 to 25 years. BUT: it's not often i receive promos where someone understands how music, sound, and atmosphere function together and influence each other and only that way create emotion. no overproduction, no gimmick sounds, no desperate trying, just effortless sounding music. "
