Carl Cox is an industry figurehead who’s legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the new release is from Luca Marchese.
Back on the label for the second time in the space of only a few months, Luca Marchese has been busy filling the gap with new releases and remixes on Riot Recordings, Prospect and Octopus. Other labels to have featured music from this rising star include Respekt, Kraftek, Phobiq, Tronic and AnalyticTrail.
Having spent many years DJ’ing locally in his hometown of Caserta in Italy, the success of his productions has led to him starting to get international bookings in places such as Germany and beyond.
“Eclipse” opens the EP with its pounding kick drum surrounded by dark atmospherics from which the analogue tones of the arpeggiated lead synth slowly emerge. The jovial melody provides stark contrast within this sinister track that’s set for dance floor destruction.
“Neptune” is second on the release and it’s stripped back style is filled by the fluttering bursts of melody that cut through the shadowy mood of the swelling pads. Grinding bass stabs add to the drama that unfolds with a steady momentum and dark tension.
“State Of Being” closes proceedings while also ramping up the suspense by blending thrashing percussion, off-beat rhythms, and euphoric acid that underpins the urgency of the stabbing lead. Stylish and primed for peak time club plays, it’s the perfect way to box off this well rounded package of thumping techno.
You can listen to the full premiere of ‘Eclipse’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy !
Release date : September 6th, 2019.
