On their sixth release, Milanese house imprint Dabit Records welcomes Accatone into their everexpanding family of talented producers. The Portuguese house maestro (José Reis to his friends) made a quiet start to the year, but has started racking up the releases in recent months, turning out a thoughtful and techy four tracker on Apparel Music and a deep, vocal laced EP on Hudd Traxx. Here he offers two new tracks that get remixed by Nick Morris & Dave Scott plus Mattei & Omich.
First up on the EP we have 'Get Outta Dat Hole', which sees a funked-out bass guitar hook sit
just below the drums, pulling the track on with an almost locomotive urgency. The mellifluous
vocal is the real gem of this track, sporadically coming in and out of the hypnotic drums.
Next is 'What Tha Fuck', another rolling deep house track, this time sampling the vocal hook from a tune you will almost certainly recognise. This is the more upbeat track of the two originals on the EP but demonstrates a keen sense of groove and sure is fun.
On the flip side are two remixes, the first coming by way of two Sicilian house legends aka Nick Morris & Dave Scott. The pair brings some Latin percussion and years of experience to the table in a remix that wouldn't sound out of place on a deep and jazzy St. Germain album. The second
remix comes from Metropolitan label bosses Mattei & Omich. This one has been made in line with the aesthetic of the pair's label... peak time dancefloor tackle, big breakdowns and happy
ravers.
A fantastic EP that ticks all the right boxes and shows that this young label may be young, but
sure is releasing some headline grabbing sounds.
