Cinthie joins the Heist fam with an EP full of lush, epic house music with three originals and a St. David remix. Cinthie is the kind of artist who seems to be everywhere all at once. In the past years, you've seen her compile a lush DJ Kicks compilation, release numerous EPs on labels such as Aus music, run one of Berlin's finest record stores (Elevate Records), tour the world fiercely, and create an all-new live show. Her EP for Heist has been in the works for a long, long time and it's an absolute pleasure to finally present the Music for Discotheques EP. Spoiler alert: It's a no holds-back, "all killers, no fillers" record. In classic Cinthie fashion, this EP has the Berlin-based artist explore various sides of house music, starting with the vocal cut "Won't U Take Me". Lush pads, shuffling snares and a dreamy female vocal work together to bring a warm and classy house track with a clear nod to '90s US house, but with its feet firmly rooted in the present. Piano heaven takes you on an Italo-meets-deephouse excursion straight into: Piano heaven. A driving 909 groove and a deceptively simple bass form the foundation of the track, but it's the keys (and strings) that bring this track to its full peak-time potential. The energy in this track is of the "hands-in-the-air/screaming-out-loud" type and it has already become one of the biggest tracks in Cinthie's live-show. On the flip, Cinthie explores the pacier electronic side of the dance spectrum, with the footwork inspired jam "Masterplan". Think classic 808's, loopy synths and a cheeky spoken word piece that lifts the song to a level where it's extremely danceable and quite simply put; really fun. The final track of the EP is the expertly crafted remix by Italian house maestro St. David; an artist Cinthie has always been a big fan of. He's made a dazzling rework of "Piano Heaven": A deep and driving deephouse version that's layered in sweeps, fx and bleeps for an altogether mesmerizing effect.
