New Yorker Anthony Parasole provides three powerful, dancefloor productions for the third release onJoseph Capriati’s new label REDIMENSION. The exceptional opener ‘Velocity’ wastes no time setting the theme of the record with its supremely-tight drum programming, jerky bassline and synth notes that spiral into space. 'Bang’ has similarly skipping percussion and a looped melody which reveals itself for a moment midway through the track before the pulse beats on. A killer, minimalist combination of drums, bass and the sample that the track takes its name from. Finally, the restrained, warehouse feel and human touch to the rhythm of ‘Hot Zone’ again finds the Berghain resident exploring the sweet spot between house and techno. His sonic voice between the two genres is founded on his wider influences, and the result carries a subtle funk, muscular beats and hint of NYC swagger. Tried and tested by Joseph Capriati and sure to stay long in the bags of DJs, Parasole’s fine productions have the hallmarks of an artist who knows exactly how to move a dancefloor himself. At once you both expect the unexpected and find that every progression or pad sweep arrives exactly when it was meant to.
