First On Decks.de!! Italys T-Bet records returns, and as with the labels past string of releases, collaboration is a key theme. This time around we have a fresh constellation of players: Acirne, who is half the duo Diamond Dog (along with her T-Bet partner Signor Andreoni), teams up with Rio Padice, known for his work on Bassculture and Tsuba among others.
Acirne and Rio kick things off with >Moser<, assembled from vintage sounds, fresh out of their original vg+ packaging. With its fluid, expanding ambient tones laid upon playful acid bassline, and frenetic jackophile percussion, its a balanced ecosystem of soundwaves. >Naked City<, which gives the EP its title, is a rumbling, vibrant bouncing creature whos not afraid to dance around in his birthday suit. On the flip, Massimo Di Lena aka Massi DL – who has previously worked with Rio Padice together as Horacio (Cynosure, Raum…Music) – presents his new production alias The Random Odyssey to remix >Moser<, bringing the original into fast-paced post-dubstep territory. Finally, Acirne and Rio offer some closing thoughts with the vibrant, strutting >Tonight Is The Night< which sounds something like a lost instrumental from Madonna or Janets early 90s days. So strike a pose and get nasty in the naked city! If you feel so inclined.
