Italian duo natural/electronic system mark their second solo outing on Casablanca’s Tikita with a 4-track EP, perfectly showcasing the pair’s diversity and breadth over tempo and style. This variability is echoed in the titles of the four works, with each piece named for a different wind pattern native to the Mediterranean area.

With each track staking out a different notch on the BPM ladder (roughly 110, 120, 135, and just under 140), this is an invaluable record in the right hands, as equally applicable to the early hours as the closing moments of the dance. Tried and tested in Tikita’s homeland in the Moroccan desert, the 11th edition of the burgeoning record label is a masterwork in the realm of hypnotic techno.
