The next installment from Silicone Soul's wonderful Darkroom Dubs label see's another debut. This time from Filippo Mancinelli & Allen May.
The pair first teamed up back in 2005 when a chance meeting at the Pescara nightclub 'Long Island' lead to a residency for both, that they still do today. Individually, Filippo is also resident for the Mariopsx.com parties and Allen's DJ sets have seen him share the box with some of the biggest names in the world of house and techno.
Their musical similarities lead them to collaborate behind the production desk, and today we bring you their latest composition 'The Hills'. Deep, moody and with a dubby touch, the original is a pure scene setter. Easily at home in a big arena as it is a darkened basement, its Detroit flavour will win many fans.
On the remix is Haruki Matsuo. Renowned for his releases on the Dutch, 'Rush Hour' imprint. His 'Geisha Dance' and 'Dankan' singles have been highlights, and have found support from the likes of Laurent Garnier and Loco Dice.
Matsuo's mix takes the original even deeper. Like a storm cloud brewing, it builds intensity, gradually. Yet passes overhead, never peaking, but demonstrating its power... Enjoy!
