We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint.
Kicking off the EP on A1 is "Liquorice." The track starts with captivating ambient sounds and playfully develops into a breaky tribal adventure, paving the way for the EP title-giving track that is "Aqua Pura." You can feel the power of crystal-clear water bursting through your speakers, and tension building while the track develops. Mechanical noises and sci-fi sounds decorate the bass-heavy yet also playful baseline. On A3, the third and last original track, "Lounge Lizard," creeps into your ears very subtly and sneakily. High foreign-sounding arpeggiated melodies twirl around your head, and you get lost in the sound when suddenly a high-energy switch drops in and makes you want to move your reptile extremities.
Moving on to the B-Side, you can find 2 remixes. The first one by label-papa-pino is a driving housy interpretation of „Lounge Lizard“ with that special tribal touch he is known for but keeping the unique melodies from the original.
On B2, also NYC-based Palitra presents his version of „Liquorice“, a slower and very thought-through piece that keeps you dreaming until it fades out.
