House maestro Nile Delta returns as the architect of the Aztec EP, his third release for Cut Copys label Cutters Records. Building on the solid foundations of his debut release *Channel / All This* and the anthemic vinyl-only tune Dance To The Rhythm this third outing provides the most effortless and promising release to date.
Sales Information:
Nile Delta's Aztec (12" Version) is a warehouse-sized acid beast propelled by hypnotic congas, and a trance-like vocal chant provided byJohn Parkinson of rising Melbourne band Worlds End Press. The B-side "Achilles" is similarly ancient in title, but futuristic in nature. It infuses the unlikely combination of driving acid rhythms and wonky filtered samples to floor-filling effect.
The release is accompanied by some great remixes of "Aztec". Emerging acieeed king Roland Tings (100% Silk) creates an irresistible hook-filled house groove out of re-pitched vocal stabs and metallic synths. Also John Talabot collaborator, Pional (Permanent Vacation) brings a deft production touch to his piano-house rework.
