Soulfooled, lovingly curated since its inception in 2010 by German producer Alex Niggemann, has established itself as a crucial platform for fresh talent, focused on sonic innovation that is unfailingly fresh and original, with its own distinctive brand of house music. The label’s next exciting musical instalment is the debut EP from a new Italian star in the making – Retsu – a Milano-based electronic music producer.

Retsu (meaning “line” in Japanese) is the artist’s metaphorical guise, representing a shift to a different, darker musical palette, influenced by the myriad of shapes, colours and sounds he was exposed to on a weekly basis during his decade-long exploration of the European clubbing scene – a musical education that now bears fruit with some exceptionally creative tracks for his Soulfooled debut.

From the wonderfully atmospheric and infectious opener - “Disclaimer” - it is hard not to be enthralled within Retsu’s diverse cathedral of sound. The throbbing funk of “Better Than Time”, complete with its subtle, juxtaposed, melancholic piano and synth lines, make it an irresistible musical delight. The deeply dark and delicious, heavy duty beats of “Mrs. B”, show yet another side of Retsu’s standout inventiveness. Finally, Swiss artist Garance (who made her Soulfooled debut earlier in 2015 with the remarkable “Loro Cabeciazul EP”) delivers a suitably energetic finale to Retsu’s EP, with a truly exceptional interpretation of “Disclaimer”.

When an exciting new, highly original artist emerges,
it is often interesting to take note of their background. As an electronic music teacher and co-founder of a production studio in his hometown, Retsu has worked as producer, composer and guitar player, moving through many shapes of music, including jazz, indie rock and pop to reach this point in his musical journey. Maybe this diverse background is what gives him his electronic edge? His music certainly resonates with a dark and strangely fresh sound, drawing from the past and looking to the future. Now, dropping his debut release on Alex Niggemann’s Soulfooled, Retsu is defi- nitely an artist to keep an eye on.

Flamingos Fly

Persephone went down to her lover
The night we met
You were a sudden change in weather
A shimmering silhouette??

I took off my dress and stood in your door
I told to you my sad stories and you told me yours
Gave me months worth of kisses in just a few days 
I couldn’t leave and you wanted me to stay

I want to see you like a sunset
A wonderful moment
So beautiful 
Then its gone and I don’t blame myself If you have to be a memory 
You might as well 
Be a good one that I don’t regret

I watched it burning behind your eyes 
A hundred year storm Before a hundred year plight 
You’re a good week didn’t get much sleep
First from heartache and then from heartbeats

We walked in the snow, you felt like Orpheus
You couldn’t bring her back, now you can’t trust
I feel sad when the sun gets low
I keep looking back and I’ve turned to stone

I want to see you like a sunset
A wonderful moment
So beautiful 
Then its gone and I don’t blame myself
If you have to be a memory 
You might as well 
Be a good one that I don’t regret
Knowing there’s a sunrise
On the other side 
Of the moments you never will forget

The Skies We Look To

Sunset
