DISS 002CD
|
Italian duo Re-UP present the CD version of their debut album, Nelcorpo. Twelve tracks of immersive, psychoactive house and techno. Alberto Leonardi and Omar Mazzon showcase what a diverse and engaging team they are both for the dancefloor and as a personal listening experience. "Concrethereal" opens the mix in an esoteric style with a complex arrangement of percussion and melodic chimes that soar away into meditative realms, before "Aju Paraplu" strides forth with urgency and subliminal sound design, letting haunting fragments of processing drift in between the beats while the "Nelcorpo" captivates with its mysterious pads swirling around angular fragments of rhythm. "Dark Tunnel" brings on a tougher beat with a haunting soul to catch the dancers unaware, before "Gominola" comes to life in a romantic swell of orchestration, rich in energy without losing that all-important subtlety. "6AM" has an equally rich sound world to get lost in, using a bed of forest textures as a comfortable backdrop in contrast to the piercing impact of the lead synth. "The Mole" locks the listener in with a vivid picture of crooked, rusted textures conjured up using layers of rough and metallic found sounds. "Two in a Row," meanwhile, takes its time in building up the tension, working with a locomotive urgency and yet maintaining a voluptuous appeal to the rhythm section of the track. Heading into the later stages of the mix, "Each Sense" holds tightly to the groove, celebrating multi-sensory stimulation with its intricate and seriously funky percussion. "Tribute" delves into dub-infused techno of the most captivating kind, and "Extended" sets out to explore microscopic production detail as it builds to a spiritual climax. With its ever-shifting moods and infectious energy, Nelcorpo is a stunning achievement for Re-UP. Also available on vinyl as Nelcorpo (Part One) 12" (DISS 024EP) and Nelcorpo (Part Two) 2LP (DISS 025LP). CD edition includes exclusive track "The Mole Tool."

Italian duo Re-UP present the final eight tracks of their debut album, Nelcorpo, to accompany the first three tracks on Nelcorpo (Part One) 12" (DISS 024EP). Alberto Leonardi and Omar Mazzon showcase what a diverse and engaging team they are both for the dancefloor and as a personal listening experience. "Nelcorpo" leads off side C with its sweeping, mysterious pads swirling around crisp and angular fragments of rhythm, and "Dark Tunnel" brings on a tougher beat to catch the dancers unaware while carefully feeding a haunting soul into the track. "Each Sense" celebrates mental and physical stimulation with its intricate and seriously funky percussion both surprising and delighting at once, before "Extended" sets out to explore precise, microscopic production detail even as it builds to a spiritual climax. "Gominola" comes to life on a rousing, romantic swell of orchestration, rich in energy and passion without losing that all-important subtlety, while "Tribute" delves into dub-infused techno of the most captivating kind. "Aju Paraplu" strides forth with urgency, the quick-ticking beat providing a perfect anchor to the subliminal intricacies of the sound design around, and then finally "Concrethereal" emerges gracefully into a dense and complex arrangement of percussion and melodic chimes that soars away from the dancefloor and into more meditative realms. Balanced perfectly between the cerebral excitement of home-listening electronica and the physical thrill of club-ready house and techno, Nelcorpo brings more shades to Re-UP's craft while maintaining their finely honed sonic identity. Also available on CD as Nelcorpo (Mixed CD) (DISS 002CD).

"The Mole" deploys crooked, rusted textures, using layers of rough and metallic found sounds to whisk the listener away into its dense, percussive headspace. "6AM" has an equally rich sound-world to get lost in, using a bed of forest textures to contrast the piercing lead synth. "Two in a Row" works with a locomotive urgency yet maintains a voluptuous appeal to the rhythm section of the track.

DISS 010EP

Leo & Omar aka Re-Up step up with their latest double-header for Dissonant. Lead cut "Freedom Seed" is as deep and coiled as they come. At home in the sweat-filled basements as it's sure to be on summer terraces, its spoken word vocal and druggy groove is set to draw in the unsuspecting. Equally as deep and serious, yet with a slightly tougher edge is "Chew Part." Its heavy drum pattern rolls along effortlessly, making it the perfect tool for the floor.

UY 051EP
|
Upon You's Italian friends Re-Up have rustled up this very promising release called The New Mood. These two tech-house experts have dug deep to give you "Darkness," with its ecstatic drum rolls. A2 gives you the title-track, with its dubby-chordy kind of sound, like magically pulling the reins on an Indian horse. "What Else," they ask themselves on B1, while they gallop over the UY parkour to end this little journey with "So Good" on B2.

"Our Spanish colleagues Oel Polygon have redefined themselves. Leo and Omar cobble on together as a Re-Up in musical togetherness. Nonchalantly as usual, the two keep on cooking crispy tech-house to the limits and let the heart of the club-gourmets melt away. Between Venice and Barcelona they have peeled especially pretty models out of their sequencer. 'Inside Us' is telling us a lot about the drive of the record and strives with tough techno-vocals the hit pig across the Upon You court. Once you've wrapped out the A1 bon-bon, you'll find yourself greedily diving into the B-side, which together with 'Phonobox' and 'Dos Por Dos' skillfully completes the box of candies."
