TNT028 | 2017-12-22  
“This And That Lab” is a House and Techno label run by Davide Squillace, and the label's new release is a four track EP from Alfa Romero.

Italian duo Alfa Romero consists of Marzio Aricò & Lorenzo Bartoletti who are each solo artists in their own right, with Marzio Aricò having featured on labels such as Dirt Crew Recordings and Music For Freaks. Lorenzo Bartoletti is better known to many as Eclat, and released on the likes of Morris Audio and Moodmusic.

Combined under their shared alias of Alfa Romero, the pair have featured tracks and remixes on imprints such as Dubfire’s SCI+TEC, Audiofly’s Supernature, Dan Ghenacia’s Freak N Chic and Akbal Music.

Alfa Romero have also released tracks in collaboration with label boss Davide Squillace, and have featured on numerous compilation CD’s compiled for brands such as Fabric, Ministry of Sound and Defected, mixed by the likes of Marco Carola, Harry 'Cho Choo' Romero, Pete Tong and Groove Armada.

First on the release is “Gemini” that starts with warm tones from the throbbing bassline, which in the breakdown is accompanied by the epic chords of the lead synth. It’s stripped back percussion leaves space for the synth parts to breathe and expand, and the track grows with a cosmic tension of epic proportions.

Second is “Road To Nowhere” which despite its title builds with focused direction and a clear destination. With a quirky melody and vibrant pads, the track has an enigmatic fusion of textures that paint a colourful sonic tapestry. The unexpected trumpet and vocal phrase in the main break add to the audio journey full of exciting twists and turns.

“Vibra Velvet” is third on the release and it’s chic shimmering sound full of claps and shuffling rhythms has a charismatic groove full of personality. Introduced without prior warning is the boisterous lead synth that has an eccentric sound rippling with liquid tones. Left of field and intelligent, this unusual House track is perfectly sculpted with a contemporary design.

Finishing things off is “Cosmopolitan” which is rich in melody and has an uplifting vibe that builds as the track unfolds. The jerking rhythms and swaying groove is both gentle and vibrant with keen attention to detail. Whether it’s to lift the middle of a DJ set or a start of the night, there is no doubt that this is tune is the perfect mood setter.
