House music veteran, Raoul Zerna, delivers a double dose of tribal-tech-house for the Tech-Asylum via the Shut It EP. The A-side track; Shut It, Zerna injects his signature drums with a jacking bassline and chants making this a hot tune for prime time sets. The B-side track; De Nada, is a fun party track with punchy tribal beats and late 90's house synths. Plenty of good vibes here by Zerna.
