Mario Reder Goes Mad This Summer

MAEP 004 - Cutty Sark Ep

Mario Reder

Originally from Naples, Mario Reader grew up playing piano and discovered electronic music when he was 16. He set up a small analog studio and moved to London in 2004, when he started playing at several parties around the city that never sleeps. In August 2009 Mario released “Frederik”, his first EP on the label Menomale records and In October 2009 He Releases Opposite Forces EP
on Minimal Force Records . Now Reder is on the talk again because of his recently released “Cutty Sark Ep” on the London based label Mind Ability records.

“Cutty Sark Ep” is a very serious piece of work which at the same time contains a big dose of humor. Mario Reder has the gift of creating versatile sounds and orquestrated atmospheres. The magnificence of his tunes balances with the funkyness of his rhythm, and for sure is bound to be a big “YES” on the dance floor this summer. The EP contains the original track from Mario Reder plus two other reamixes from Alex Kenji and Roby Mannarini.


The original Master and Commander is a straight to the businnes track: made for big dance floors the sound gets expanded around and fill up the space with strong beats. Perfectly able to work as a bomb in the after hours set or peak time, Master and Commander sounds like a classic tech house hype already!


Next to follow is the Alex Kenji remix. Keeping the same groove but taking away some of the vocals, Kenji makes a slightly retro approach to the original one. Horns and orquestra sounds seem to take us out for a trip on the Balkan countryside. The synths compress themselves into accordion movements, which give a very dynamic texture to the track.


In contrast to Alex Kinji, Roby goes a very different way by slowing up the tempo and adding out of the blue bass lines that makes you feel warm and tingly inside. It works. Percussions sound much more powerful and sexy, the atmospheric vocals and the synths love each other in harmony… Bravo Mannarini!

Java
A warm and summery work of crisp production, driving latin percussion, an underlying catchy synth line percolating effortlessly throughout only to yet deliver a well balanced baseline giving this track all the elements of pure diversity making it a perfect blend for all seasons.

Costa Rican
A bouncy Minimal Tech House track with a euphoric Latin percussive element building throughout, techy highs and a warm sensual bassline takes the groove through a pattern of evolution
constantly building and dropping, ‘truly seductive’ are the words that come to mind.

Costa Rican Decaf
Is a scaled-down tribal version with a reworked quirky percussion, toned down smooth bassline and catchy rhythm, making this track special, a soulful sunrise set filler for any crate.

Latin Grooves For Sub Secret on Mind Ability Records

A melodic Epic Ep by ‘Sub Secret’ Featuring ‘Fabricio’. Drawn from the inspiration of Hollywood movie soundtracks, ‘Para La Manana’ is a dedication to the writers of movie musical compositions that bind their childhood memories.

.“5AM” is a trumpet driven strumpet, that paces? its way through a stripped down off-step baseline that that terrorises the very foundation of the ground that you dance on. “Schizo?’clock”, the ?5AM remix? takes a lighter tone with playful Glockenspiel and horn melodies. A lovely warm bass wobble accompanies a strong kick and snare that create a blip and a skip in your step. “Que Dicas 5AM?”,the track by new up and coming talent Fabricio compliments the EP superbly with rolling snares, crisp Highs and a quirky vocal breaking into a delectable mexican guitar, which will really keep you jamming till 5AM.
