Moodymann - Novamix (Radio Nova), 1995

Washington D.C.-based house and techno duo “Shades of Play”
release Microdose EP on Witty Tunes

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Microdose, the latest release from Washington DC-based producers “Shades Of Play”— aka Derek Tucker & Felipe Rivera— is a moody, exploratory trip through divergent shades of experimental house and techno.

The 5-track EP flexes Tucker and Rivera’s taste for introspective, minimalist, and emotive modes of dance music. In Microdose, the duo delivers a thoughtful range of tracks that prioritize experimentalism and emotion without sacrificing dance floor power.

In opening track Gazuza, a haunting, hypnotic melody is cut against a tough bassline and echoing vocal elements. What follows is pure, unadulterated, deep house music magic.

It goes without saying that house and techno heads love a slow burn. NYC Lovin is just that: an ode to the minimalist, edgy house music stylings found in Brooklyn warehouses and Manhattan clubs.

In Microdose, Tucker and Rivera explore a distinctly raw, primal, and psychedelic side of techno. Marked by complex rhythms and eerie vocals, the track is designed to bring dance floors to a frenzy.

Things lighten up a bit in No Promises, a sparkling, uplifting house track that pairs sophisticated percussion with dreamy soundscapes. Its tribal-inspired sound is ripe for steamy summer dance floors and sunny afternoon sessions alike.

Inspired by the likes of Floating Points, closing track Mirrors and Masks is an intricate, commanding piece of progressive techno; a cinematic secret weapon for building dance floor euphoria.

About Shades of Play: Bringing together Midwestern Native American, Black, and South American cultures, Shades Of Play is a Washington DC-based duo comprised of longtime friends Derek Tucker and Felipe Rivera. With sounds ranging from heavy, pulsating, primal rhythms to progressive rock and jazz-influenced fusions; their sounds are a direct result of their ancestral roots and explore the broader spectrums of electronic, house, and techno music.

Caju Sessions arrives refreshing Cocada Music's catalog, with that sweet and at the same time acidic touch as promised by the fruit itself. The tropicality present in the project formed by Ágatha Prado (Agrabah) It is Caio Schmitz, reflects the influences of Disco and House Music that set the tone of the duo's first EP, called Breakfast. The debut features two original tracks that include 'Saquarema' and title track, as well as a remix of 'Breakfast' signed by the Chilean duo Aerobica. 'Breakfast' presents a smooth journey through the shades of House Music, bringing an engaging atmosphere between the synth stabs and the acid cuts of the arrangement. The drums built based on the elements of the classic 909, raise the energy of the track that can fit perfectly into a warm up, or even in peak time of the night. The track also comes accompanied by a remix signed by Aeróbica, the Chilean project formed by Nico Castro and Pepo Fernandez who catch the attention of the Latin American scene with his parties and original productions. The remix presents an even more energetic approach to 'Breakfast', under the influences of old school House. Completing the EP, 'Saquarema' it's the icing on the cake. Fruit of the collab between Caju Sessions and the multi-instrumentalist Alonso Figueroa, 'Saquarema' dives into the seas of Disco Music with warm timbres and a lot of groove, with emphasis on the brass and piano lines that add up in a harmonious and dancing way throughout the track.
