MADATO - CRAFTED LP [ITEMS & THINGS: IT033]

This time Madato comes unabashed as he debuts his first true long player, 'Crafted', and with it he displays his true dexterity and expertise as a unique storyteller in a world saturated with mediocre attempts at originality.

Each individual piece stands alone on it's own merit and authenticity, but when grouped together into a package, it is a genuinely executed and incredibly cohesive vision come to life.

REWORK – Missed You At L EP

It's been nearly two years since Rework last appeared on Items & Things with their stunning 'Blackout' EP, but the wait is over as they return bearing their trademark sound and unassailable attitude on their new 'Missed You At L EP. 

Equal parts acid, techno, punk rock, and house, the EP covers a lot of ground in four compelling tracks. Kicking things off is the title track from the EP and it sees the trio stepping back into the sound of their Playhouse days using a never ending vocal loop, lush pad sweeps, and playful stabs laid over energetic, agile drums. Quickly flipping the script, 'Dry Acid' takes a turn into the more 'ghetto' side of techno, relentlessly pushing the groove with an attitude fueled ride of pitched toms and nimble percussion. 'Don't Make Me Cry' is the high octane tune of the EP and clearly has the most sinister demeanor using a quintessential Rework vocal treatment and rapid percussion to take things to the peak. Closing things out is 'French Candy' and the EP comes full circle returning to a sound resembling what Rework is best known for lighthearted and energetic dance floor jams with a deliberate touch of sincerity. 

Welcome back, Rework. It's good to hear you again!

DIGITARIA – Starburst Poem EP [Items & Things 035]

Beatport: btprt.dj/1lWDyYc
iTunes: apple.co/1NXoEeD
Juno: bit.ly/1mrOD3z

Track list:
1. Starburst Poem
2. Again and Again
3. Over and Over

With a string of successful releases already in their discography, Digitaria are no amateurs when it comes to creating memorable and unique dance floor hits. After putting out albums on both Hot Creations and International DJ Gigolos, the duo make their debut on Items & Things with the expertly crafted and undeniably authentic, 'Starburst Poems'.

Jumping off is the title track: A hypnotizing blend of spooky triplets laid over a rugged 'four to the floor' kick drum. As the wobbly lead constantly twists and turns, short sonic blasts of digital artifacts create the perfect contrast between organic euphoria and technological precision.

As with the title track, 'Again and Again' follows suit with a master combination of the natural and synthetic as the duo entwines a rich looping piano with seductive sine tones creating the perfect balance between polar opposites. All the while a haunting female vocal recites the track title resulting in an emotionally enchanting ride.

Wrapping up the EP is 'Over and Over‘, and again the duo create a uniquely magical odyssey by having opposing forces meet head-on. While rigid percussion constructs the foundation, wild arpeggios come to life establishing a strange, yet engaging campaign that fits superbly to any time and place.

We here at Items & Things couldn't be more satisfied, and it is with great pleasure and excitement that we welcome Digitaria to the Items & Things roster. Enjoy!

OUT NOW: https://Saved.lnk.to/AfterTime

The Adana Twins gear up for a busy summer ahead. After starting the year with the hypnotic 'Jupiter' on Watergate Records, the Hamburg duo prep a season of deep techno grooves with a stunning remix of Nic Fanciulli's 'After Time', lifted from his intrinsic and varied debut album My Heart.

Entrusting rework duties to the duo, they take Nic's original and ramp up the pace with strong shifts in BPM and a downward pitch lacing their dark rework. 

With After Time's balearic-tinged, swinging drums, the Twins take the backbone of the track and layer it with slabs of subs bass and minor-chord synths, weighting Nic's sunset classic firmly to the ground with its growling, sinister presence.

Their late night makeover sports a deep techno groove, bound by hypnotic, oscillating melodies, but always retains the swing and punch of the bonafide club favourite.
