ANSIA 004EP
|
After stand out releases in 2019 on Version and Wisdom Teeth, Piezo returns to Ansia with a new two-track EP Art Attack Gone Wrong/perccssszzzz. As has been evident with past records Piezo has always had a strong ear for using interesting sounds which have been expertly sculpted to create a unique sound universe. While releasing on other labels has allowed him to work closely with his peers the freedom of having his own label allows for him to explore his influences from the Italian rave scenes in a more direct manner. For this EP, these influences are streamlined into a techno-orientated sound palette with traditional four-on-the-floor beat patterns but with an approach more related to the sounds of Diagonal than Berghain. With "Art Attack Gone Wrong", the Milanese producer merges dancefloor efficiency with a playful approach to distortion, melody, and sound design, while on the flip you will find "perccssszzz", a no-frills heavy-swinged drum workout which, as the names suggests, refuses to include pretty much anything else than percussive elements. This time Ansia goes dark for the vinyl edition with white-ink stamped Tweetie on black label -- and last but not least, 180 gram vinyl cut deep and loud!

ANSIA 003EP
|
The latest episode on Piezo's no nonsense, hand-stamped, and heart-warmed Ansia label. StabUdown Productions (James Donadio, aka Prostitutes) kicks it off with "FyeRRR!", a deadly burst of blown out ragga replete with an arsenal of kicks and vocal cut up shrapnel. Piezo drops "OiOiOi", a masterwork of electro-gated basslines, jungle breaks, and absurd delay feedbacks. Kreggo delivers "Ligeti", a flat-out mover with its skittering percussion and deep haunted stabs hovering around the supernatural subs. Bristol's Facta offers "Not Now", an elastic, low gravity heavy-hitter that snakes through bass bins and wraps you up.

ANSIA 001EP

Piezo's, aka Luca Mucci, keen ear and perhaps his day-job with a synthesizer manufacturer have lead him to carve out his niche mastery of unique frequency mixed with a very danceable rhythm section - bass & drum make up the foundations on both "Gattomatto" and "Cala", just how it should be on a disc that's designed for the club. The ink stamp on this disc gives the nudge towards a liking for Looney Tunes style and attitude, and you may even spot a couple of sneaky snippets if you pay attention. Crisp and functional in the very best way - drop it and watch things spin.
