This time around it is Stipé, the man behind the label, who takes control of the sound. Very respected throughout the years for his edgy DJ sets and known for never cutting any dance floor slack, Stipé´s debut release truly represents the soul of this unique artist. The title track ”Clean Games” is a straight-to-the-point gem that will make the walls of many clubs soak. Once you hear that vocal introducing the rules of the game and as your head nods to this groovy piece, you can't help but think: “What the hell was on his mind?” Only Stipé knows the answer. The second track on the EP, “Like This”, is a ever sweet affair. Perfect to listen to while taking a sip of some Summer inspired drink or move your hips to while the melodies take over your soul. This is sweet music in its pure form. With the first track on the B side, “Behind The Wall”, he introduces a whole different flavor. An elegant mix of jazz, house and techno, the track features the soulfull vocals by the Amsterdam based singer D_Fine, reshaped in a Stipé way and showcasing his versatile production skills. The originality of the groove makes this one a timeless tune. “Still Here” takes us back to the floor. A perfectly balanced vibe kicks in and progresses through the track as Stipé teases the beat with cool vocal chops. This is a sure shot banger that might introduce the “repeat” function to a club context. Deeply rooted but with that techno hi edge and a clear message – Stipé is here, still here. With the Clean Games EP, Mitu Recordings strikes the dancing nerve again, delivering ENOUGH EDGE, GROOVE AND RHTYHM FOR ANY MUSIC LOVER.
