NiCe7 - Everything Everything
Italian duo Nicola and Cesare make up the house and tech powerhouse that is NiCe7. Hailing from San Salvo in Chieti, they emerged fleetingly several years back before stepping things up to a consistent level. After releases on Cr2 Music (alongside hotshot Pirupa) Noir Music, Apparel Music, Monique Musique and Audiojack’s Gruuv, they make their first appearance on Germany’s Great Stuff Recordings. Some mighty fine calibre right there.
Gray Piano focuses round a dusty old house loop and a big, plump, juicy bassline that you can really sink your teeth – and ears – into. A bit of a Joris Voorn feel going on. The slinky groove gives way to a huge, dramatic piano scale breakdown, building the tension before we drop back down into the main artery of this pumping track.
Sweden’s prolific and acclaimed Tiger Stripes provides two remixes: his ‘Deep Night At The Copa Remix’ borders hypnotic, warm deep house and sensual old school techno flavour, while his ‘Paradise Remix’ treads a deeper still, spine-tingling, gently euphoric route with a sumptuous bassline that works beautifully against the piano arpeggios.
B-side Everything Everythingis a deeper cut, but with plenty of skippy energy. Jazzy samples and subtle effects give the track a hazy, smokey feel, and make it a perfect early doors set-builder.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Great Stuff perfectly timed for the late summer delivers another outstanding new single that will set new standards in the tech/prog house scene. Tiger Stripes provide two great versions that will bring that balearic Ibiza vibe in your club, in your car or in your bedroom while you listen to them because both versions bring back that balearic prog house style that we all enjoyed during the explosion of rave in the mid 90s. PARADISE remix is more upfront and delicius in a way and DEEP NIGHT is stripped down to its basics for cooler early morning sets. Original version is a great mixture of jazz and funk influences with tech house beat that is so well crafted that you simply want to dance with it. On top you have some cool vocal samples that add a feeling of listening to it live in a jazz club for instance. As the tittle suggest the track is dominated from that old school piano riff that will stay in your mind for days. Everything Everything is centered around a nice jazz riff along with naughty dirty vocal sample as well that add certain sense of underground and dirtyness. Overall its another hit single for Great Stuff that I tottaly adore and respect for their ability to discover great artists and singles.
