PREMIERE: IT-XPO - Untitled 049 [Oleeva]

Delayed favorite IT-XPO is back with another addition to his constantly evolving catalog - “Ripple.” This time in the form of a six-track release at the intersection of deep house and dub techno - supplemented by an Lb Honne remix.

The EP, named after a Grateful Dead song of the same name, arrives on UK-based Oleeva Records, which has featured releases from from artists including Sam Goku and Didacte, spanning across many shades of the house and techno spectrum, all with a more emotional flavor.

“Untitled 049” is one of a few Fred P moments on “Ripple”, immediately getting percussive and builds up its airy, dubby tension throughout the first half, before cathartically releasing, and once again falling back into an extended breakdown that finally leads to a maintained irresistible groove that slowly disintegrates at the end of the track.

As is the case with most IT-XPO releases, this one contains energies suitable for every stage of a party, and the remix shows us a darker, harder-hitting side of Lb Honne.

The EP comes out on Oleeva Records on 17/11/2023
