There’s no room to argue, Joseph Capriati has enjoyed his finest year to date and his escalation as one the principle profiles in techno knows no boundaries. 

The Napoli-born firebrand has just completed a stunning season in Ibiza as a resident of Marco Carola’s Music On at Amnesia. Anyone who caught him play the main room this season will agree – his special ability to combine an infectious stage presence, with razor sharp DJ skills draws techno fans to dancefloor like bees to a honey pot. No wonder island legend Carola’s handpicked him to perform on 8 separate occasions, more than any other artist this season. 

Combine this momentum with an outstanding 2013 that already saw him headline his first coast-to-coast tour of the US, play a historic 12 hour set at the Metropolis in Napoli, plus headline every major techno festival on the planet, the time couldn’t be better for Capriati to unleash ‘Self Portrait’, his sophomore LP. 

Already ingrained in the consciousness of techno lovers this year thanks to ‘Fratello’ and ‘Awake’ the pair of searing dancefloor slayers that were released in June as the album’s first singles, ‘Self Portrait’ goes deeper than the club stormers the Italian is famed for. Over 11 future-facing tracks, Capriati displays his deft production skill to supersede his reputation for bodyslamming dancefloors. 

Tracks such as ‘Electrolytic’, the album’s atmospheric opener evokes mood with a barrage of steely synths, gritty drums and industrial beats, while ‘Self Portrait’, the typically reflective album title track is an understated ambient gem led by warm trickles of melody that pairs nicely with ‘Naked’ which exhibits the producer’s deft skills for moulding sparse stripped back minimal that kicks along with cheeky vox and shuffling percussion. 

He further reinforces his ability to create addictive club rollers with the quirky, squiggly groover ‘Easy Come Easy Go’, while the masterful ‘Basic Elements’, chugs along with rattling industrial percussion before giving way to a sublime wall of melody that’s just the kind of genius fare that gets his diehard fans raising Italian flags inscribed with ‘JOSEPH CAPRIATI KING OF TECHNO’ regularly at this gig. And with an album this good, who are we to argue?

The groove-laden three-track release represents a clear departure from the darker techno
sound of TRICK’s maiden release ‘Watch What Ya Doing’ - further demonstrating Topping’s
versatility as a producer. Kicking off proceedings, the EP’s title track is underpinned by an
infectious vocal sample and the funkiest of beats. While over on the B-side, ‘Let Wa Gan’ is a
darker, moodier number and ‘Galaxy’, featuring the scintillating vocals of Liset Alea, is a
celestial melodic stomper. The collaboration with Liset came about after Topping heard her
vocals on Alex Kid’s ‘Don’t Hide It’. The track quickly became a staple in his sets and he
made the decision to reach out to the Cuban-born singer shortly after.

Play It Say It look to Malaga born DJ and producer Cuartero for their next serving of dance floor dynamite.

Cuartero long broke out of the confines of his small home island, and is now a well recognised name on the global dance scene. He's as likely to be headlining in Ibiza as he is playing somewhere in Chile or returning to regular festivals like BPM. He's released his music on key contemporary tech house labels like Hot Creations, ViVa Music and Moon Harbour as well as his own CUARTEROCONCEPT, and it is fresh, forward looking stuff that breaks from the usual confines of the genre.

He kicks off here with the brilliantly busy and bristling ‘Micromaya,’ a turbo-charged tech cut with driving drums and chopped up vocal samples. It’s full of energy and cannot fail to blow up the floor. The equally high tempo ‘Pa Chu’ then hits hard with big rubbery kicks, vocals that pan around the mix in disorientating fashion and techno leaning percussion. It’s pure, high grade dancing music, make no mistake.

The goodness continues on ‘Aire Libre’, which has more slick studio techniques chopping up vocals and deft little samples into an ever evolving patchwork of sounds that keep you on your toes. Spinning hi hats and choppy chords are brilliantly restless and impossible to resist. Last of all, the excellent ‘Part of the Beautiful’ is more spaced out, with lush chords bring a dreamy feel as the drums race along and sci-fi sounds peel off the high speed grooves.

This is first class, inventive house music squarely aimed at the dance floor.
