Next up on wAFF’s increasingly popular NATURE imprint, Italian DJ/Producer Lorenzo de Blanck follows up releases on Moon Harbour, Rebellion, SK Recordings, Hottrax and many more with an impressive new EP titled ‘My Beat’. Alongside three fresh cuts from de Blanck, the EP also features a standout remix from Take Notes label boss and respected Romanian artist Mahony.

‘My Beat’ provides a worthy intro of punchy drums, shuffling percussion and juicy analogue undertones. An unignorable bassline melody drives the core of the mix, orbited by rolling rhythms, energetic fills and a catchy vocal hook. ‘We Need To Go’ comes next, bringing a similar vibe to its predecessor. Hard-hitting authentic drum sounds flood the mix, ricocheting off the rattle of piercing hat and shaker grooves, sliced into by another cleverly chopped and arranged vocal hook and dissected by a sea of modular melodic splashes throughout - this one has heaps of character.

“Gimme Some” takes you into the second half of the EP as things get a little deeper and more stripped-back. Littered with underground flavours throughout, its base of minimal-esque rhythms and coarse analogue musicality rides a pleasant tide of peaks and troughs as the harmonic intensity twists and turns throughout the track. Mahony closes the release with his “Gimme Some” remix, taking things even further underground. Bringing that renowned Romanian sound to the table - his retake features plenty of the original’s standout melodic features, all rolled up into that signature shuddering, wobbly format that we have come to know and love from many great artists to pioneer that sound throughout the years.

Lorenzo de Blanck’s ‘My Beat’ EP is available to buy/stream from the 29th
September on wAFF’s NATURE label.
