After releasing two legends Alton Miller and Vick Lavender, new EP is signed by a young and sound broad producer from Naples - The Mechanical Man.

Drawing influences from the sound of Chicago, Philadelphia and Motor City he achieved to catch the multi essence of the house sound into a four-track journey marked with slow and fast-paced soulful corners dominated by toned vocals and stripped-down beats all the way to the underexposed lounge sections and playful intermissions.

Drum programming is a strong point for The Mechanical Man and it can be clearly heard in "A1 - The Streets Of Revelation". Infused with vintage Linn Drum hits, the track intertwines numerous elements in a hoppy and gentle swirl riding on double vocals. Everything takes a full sonic conclusion in the third quarter when the main synth starts to breathe fully.

Residing on almost the same rhythm hits, "A2 - I Keep Thinking" is more of a deep dive into love dreams. Emotional and subtle pads and chords progression are really felt here as the track rubs under soft vocals in need of a response.

The light essence is captured on "B1 - What Your Eyes Don't See". While the delayed vocals are cutting the motion and the rhythm is rougher, it still manages to keep the terrace vibe movement. Rhode-like section carries the track all the way with occasionally reduced percussion hits spicing up the background.

On the other note, "B2 - Take Her In Your Arms" is a gentle dance of maracas and rhodes. The acoustic bass is quite seductive and inviting whilst flutes and other elements riddle the track with a toned-down lounge feel and sway into hypnotic slow-motion.

Diverse, rich and enchanting tunes by The Mechanical Man!

The Mechanical Man is the moniker, behind it there is Nicola Altieri, he is the dj and neapolitan producer, grade 82.
The Mechanical  Man plays with a tamped sound like forced in a room.
he playsold tapes, dirty hot, slow but dense.
He puts the roots in Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia, enriching his knowledge of all these places: the groove.
Unknowingly his live recall the stifling African warmth where the groove was born, the unmistakable smell of Harlem, the excitement of those sites of Broadway where it all started, the pressure of the first ballrooms in which everything was possible and everything in flux.
The Mechanical Man sound leave you dazed and confused,as if you were coming out of a super speed from the title:
