Review: Tape Records owner Deniro makes his debut on DGTL with a mesmerising release. The title track is a deep but impactful track, blending shimmering synths with a dense rhythm, while on his version, Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann strips it back for a steely, wiry take that skates at the edge of industrial. While this remix is sure to grab attention, Deniro's own material is just as impressive; "Infrared" is a propulsive, grainy workout, featuring impactful bleeps, while on an entirely different note, closing track 'Sunset" is a seductively deep track that's based on subtle break beats. It sounds like Deniro's got as much presence as his famous film namesake.
Review: The label arm of the DGTL festival organisation comes good with a fine house compilation to soundtrack these uncertain times. The warbling bass and neat percussive undercurrents on Lovshai's "Solo" start the release in warm, ecstatic form, while FM Live recalls the glory days of 90s UK deep house with the sprawling "Tal Como Soy". The compilation takes a tranced out turn for Perdu's "The Light Within", where broken beats provide the basis for some atmospheric hooks, before Yotam Avni switches into techno-influenced mode for the rolling, drum-heavy workout that is "Jungle of the Mirror II". Peppered with dreamy synths and deep vocal samples, it shows that when it comes to modern house music, DGTL has few peers.
