Donato CAPOZZI Contemporary Past EP (incl. a demetrio Giannice re-interpretation)


First release from ER Classics. Timeless production by Donato Capozzi on "Contemporary Past". I have to admit, I was shocked to see so little hype behind this record. I can't help feeling that if this was some slept-upon record from the early 90s UK dance scene we'd have queues out the door and a riot on our hands. But no, this is brand new music for 2014 - unashamedly influenced by what is, for many, the golden era of dance music. Big pianos, bigger basslines, searing strings and spine tingling breakdowns; sound familiar? The classic house formula executed with more finesse and aplomb than a Great British Bake Off Show Stopper on this flawless and sure to be future classic. Demetrio Giannice offers up a re-interpretation on the flip, going down a funky, weaving, Boo Williams-esque vibe, giving the radiant melodies space to shine and reinforcing that infectious b-line. Massive record this folks do not sleep!
