Release Notes:
Cadenza with their latest release, turn to their home country and
Lausanne to combine the fresh raw talents of Michel Cleis and Salvatore
Freda in the rather fruity sounding Uva Fragolina EP. You may not know
the name yet, but Cleis managed to convert just about every dance floor
from Ibiza to Australia and back again to his sound last summer with
his still unreleased hit 'La Mezcla' (which incidentally you can expect
to be coming back round again in a official capacity rather shortly)
whilst Freda has been dribbling tracks out on the likes of Trapez and
Leibe*Detail in various guises and partnerships.
Something about this particular combination works rather nicely though
and slots perfectly into Cadenza's distinctive signature style, as well
as being part of the label's overall plan to support the local
electronic scene and artists. The lightness of 'Sassicaia' with its
sparkling synths and smoothly rolling drums brings to mind the summery
image of a daytime festival, and a trademark Luciano hip-wiggle. The
melodic hook of the track drifts overhead playfully and is subtle to
the point of barely registering, expect for the fact that the tune
remains in your head for days after, the sign of success possibly.
Warm, sweet and ultimately quite powerful, possibly a metaphor for more
than just the records coming out of Switzerland.
B Side 'Collivo' steps a little further outside the box with a deeper
bass-heavy approach. Still working the synths; this is a more Detroit
derived sound with an intense winding and climbing acid-type crescendo
designed to take the roof off wherever it's used - outdoor festivals
excepted. The simplicity is still striking though, the moodiness
conveyed without slipping into darkness, and the sound unmistakably
Cadenza, albeit on the less fluffy side.
From two truly underground artists completely lacking in pretention
(check Freda's myspace for evidence) this is a promising start; a
fresh, fruity and all-round juicy package for Spring courtesy of a
label from which we expect nothing less.
