Review: Peach Discs label bosses, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy, have announced the release of the Capichone EP, which marks its first release of the year. The four-track EP from Amsterdam-based producer and DJ Maurits Verwoerd aka Nachtbraker is a tribute to the mid-'90s Dutch and Italian house sound. The EP's melodic hooks are woven together with loose-limbed drum tracks and wiggly arrangements. Whether it's the moody rave antics of the title track, the boompty groove of "Inbellen" or the hypnotic electro-infused funk of "Treunq1", Verwoed brings his A game on this stellar EP.
Review: Following on from the first edition last year, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy's label drops another killer compilation. Airbnd and Buen Clima both drop high-octane, percussive techno, while on "Parallel Sync", Gramrcy slows the tempo down for a murky, layered groove. An ominous sub-bass ripples its way through Happa's dubbed out "Not Right Now", while ISAbella's "Ces Dream" is a slower, introspective piece and Knopha's "Grove Emulator" revolves around a complex rhythm and layered organic drums. Even the fast-paced tracks on Peach Pals are imbued with a subtlety one would not normally find on club techno, with the offbeat groove and punchy drums of Peach's "Moonlight" impressing.
