gizA djs - Living In A Glitch [XYZ077]
Release Date - 29.3.2024
Stream/Buy - xyzlabel.lnk.to/LivingInAGlitch

We are thrilled to welcome the genre-bender italian duo gizA djs to When We Dip XYZ with ‘Living In A Glitch’. The EP is a great introduction into the creative world of Tiziano & Gian Petro, where staple electronic music sounds are morphed into uniquely crafted, high-energy dancefloor cuts. Diynamic, Glasgow Underground, Exploited and KitKat Club are just a few of their very impressive list of cosigns. 

The release kicks off with ‘Devotion Machine’, on which the 303 and robotic vocals evoke the paradox of technology which remains futuristic decades after being out in the world. Off the smashing second drop, a melancholic synth line completes the tune. 

‘Living In A Glitch’, is a powerful track where technological perfection is constantly interrupted by unforeseen glitches. The ever-changing leading melody constitutes the backbone as the morphed vocals and percussions lead the groove in all kinds of twists and turns. 

On ‘Son Finto La Notte’ a robotic opera star sings about the gleam that characterizes his nights. Behind the curtain however, there is a certain phoniness to it all. Nonetheless, the energetic hats, lively ‘yeah’ and omnipresent risers take him and his listeners to an undeniable dance. 

‘Echoes Of Victory’ is the conclusion of the EP, evoking a sense of peace after a long period of turmoil. On the original mix, the breaks turn into 4/4, marking the last exclamation before the final fade away. An alternative fully breakbeat mix is also available.

CIRCULATION Swank (Ruben Karapetyan Remix)

A 15th release sees Eric Lune & Juan Sapia make their Proportion debut with a twin-track offering. Combining on Dmitry Molosh’s highly regarded imprint, the duo announce their “Deliverence / Tension Release” EP.

Both seasoned operators in the world of DJ performance and studio production, Eric Lune and Juan Sapia have amassed a sizeable collection of air miles and label releases in their rise to the upper echelons of the underground dance industry. Responsible for over 150 credits and a century of releases, the Eric Lune has found himself at home on some of the finest imprints including Sound Avenue, Plattenbank and a January 2024 release on the ever-impressive Balance Music. Similarly, Juan Sapia can point to a growing and illustrious portfolio that has seen a double century of credits feature on a host of blue-chip labels since a Balkan Connection debut in late 2017. Work for Clubsonica Records, Mango Alley and Paul Thomas’ UV, has subsequently propelled the Argentinean star to new heights.

The opener finds Eric Lune & Juan Sapia deliver a rhythm-fuelled powerhouse through “Deliverence”. A chest-thumping kick and shaker-driven percussive section immediately create dancefloor urgency while dreamy pads and an hypnotic motif create melodic intrigue. Evolving with wonderfully syncopated synth phrasing, the dancefloor feel continues across the track’s phases as it explodes into life at 3 minutes with a drop that brings in an uplifting new synth phrase and evolves through the breakdown. Hitting its rhythmic mark once more in the third movement, the combination of filtered phrasing adds even greater dynamism.

Continuing the groove-inspired foundation courtesy of a lavish rhythm section, “Tension Release” is another dancefloor destroyer. Quickly hitting its heights courtesy of and acid-tinged lead line that meanders its way across the near 8-minute piece, a breathless, mesmeric energy is transmitted through Eric Lune & Juan Sapia’s work. Rarely letting go of its dynamic vibrancy save for a well-placed breakdown crescendo of melodic beauty, the track drops back into its 303-inspired verve and rhythmic urgency in the latter stages.

A pair of new tracks from the combined talents across the Southern Hemisphere sees Eric Lune & Juan Sapia make a powerful statement with “Deliverence / Tension Release”.
