Replica
A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. Youâd be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years....Listen more closely and youâll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.
The EP wastes no time in setting itâs intentions with the A1 Title Track, âReplicaâ - after a brief and floaty progressive house intro the refrain â E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ECSTASYâ echoes loudly over sampled vocals, euphorias piano chords, throbbing lead synths and a bouncy tech house bass line.
â89â is a sultry deep house cut featuring rising Spanish star, Dariam Coco on Vocals. It floats like a butterfly, but stings like a bee, as the soft chords are interrupted with huge drum fills deftly transforming an after party jam to a peak time moment.
We continue to â Unknownsâ - a masterclass in building tension and holding it - this track simmers with restrained intensity for almost 6 minutes. Itâs trademark Asa Tate production at its most understated and classy. We round of the EP with the fittingly titled âLast Danceâ , a wistful composition that brings us back down to earth slowly, safely and gently; always grooving but never pushing - this one is the soundtrack to the end of a long summer day and reaffirms Asa Tateâs claim to be a modern master of Deep House.
