I stumbled across nascent Polish label @Astropical Tapes' debut release from @astrobulhoone in legendary Parisian record shop Techno Import (n.b. a case of strong artwork hooking the browser in). The marvelous 'Forever EP' made for an excellent first outing for this new imprint, and I was pleased to hear that follow up 'Spa House' from label boss @marcinkrupa was another solid affair.

This track is named after Krupa's home city Konstancin-Jeziorna, and is remixed her by former Studio Barnhus releasee @Naphta_. Woozy, jazzy stuff splattered with live drum broken beats, it makes for a wonkier take on the sublime original.

Premiere: Marcin Krupa - Jeziorna (Naphta Remix) [Astropical Tapes]

Astropical Tapes is one of the latest labels to emerge from Poland’s fruitful electronic music scene. Following on from Astro Buhloone’s ‘Forever’ EP, Marcin Krupa has been invited to put together the label’s second release. Krupa’s ‘Spa House’ EP consists of two original tracks, ‘Spa House’ and ‘Jeziorna’, alongside two remixes of ‘Jeziorna’ from Naphta and Universo, the latter of which we premiere today.

Krupa’s original ‘Jeziorna’ is a piece of soulful deep house in the mould of MCDE or Andres; Universo’s remix turns it into something slightly tougher, building around a gloriously distorted kick drum. Effervescent lo-fi pads and delicate strings begin to combine with Krupa’s vocal sample before a weighty acid line starts to rumble underneath to turn the second half into a serious dancefloor weapon.

First Play: Marcin Krupa - Jeziorna (Universo Remix) [Astropical Tapes]

The white tiles glimmered on the walls of the spa, the marble tables lined the room as drops of water ran from trickling taps, steam billowed down the halls and the scent of lavender kissed the air. Across the room a woman lay sprawled across a sunlounger by the pool: she sipped from a long glass some fragrant cocktail of luscious fruits and red mist. She winked and called me over...

Astropical Tapes is a new found Polish imprint who have been receiving support from the likes of Axel Boman, Jimpster and Detroit Swindle. This one is taken from the latest EP from Marcin Krupa and dabbles in soothing melodic house and disco excursions. Titled "Spa House" it is named after Konstantin Jeziorna, a historically famous spa resort on the outer reaches of Warsaw.

PREMIERE: Marcin Krupa - Spa House [Astropical]

Boutique Polish vinyl imprint Astropical Tapes returns for a second outing following the widespread acclaim of Astro Buhloone's inaugural effort Forever with an EP from label boss, Marcin Krupa.
Spa House is named after Krupa's hometown Konstancin-Jeziorna, which is a historic spa resort on the outer reaches of Warsaw's administrative area. The EP is a fittingly soothing affair, from the resplendent strings and vocal harmonies that adorn the rolling title track to the loose, early morning mellowness of Jeziorna. Remixes of the latter come from Universo, who opts for a distorted, acid-licked melodic version, and Studio Barnhus signing Naphta, who chops up a broken beat and woozy chords to discordant effect.

Early support from: Axel Boman, Detroit Swindle, Jimpster, Nachtbraker, Frits Wentink, Loz Goddard, Daniel Drumz
