After a wafting deep house collab with fellow Italian Berlin resident Ruff Stuff, Black Loops (Ricardo Paffetti) brings Shall Not Fade a third EP of rolling, danceable house of the highest calibre. Paffetti has built a reputation as a creative, high-class producer and does not disappoint on Circulation EP - the Shall Not Fade regular makes tribute to classic Italian house while adding a futuristic, unique spin. 

The 5-tracker opens with Mike The Dog. It’s a crazy electro-garage hybrid that foregrounds frenetic drum loops, while soft lofi chords give way to a disco-like bassline, starting the record off lightheartedly. Title track Circulation hits with a syncopated kick and dubbed out vocals that swirl in your head, contrasting a smooth, darker sound design made for sunset dancing. Paffetti perfects a meticulous sound palette across the B-side. From Banana 20, a pacey track lead by its squelching bassling, to Dream2gether - gliding lead synth, trading spotlights with the echoed vocal - these are love songs for the dancefloor. The EP closes out to Danse sur L’Hardcore, a pumping beast of a house track studded with sparkling chord stabs and g-funk synth trills. 

Circulation EP drops March 12th via Shall Not Fade.
