Love & Gratitude Ep 3

Slovien born Valentino Kanzyani has been one of Cadenza?s secret weapons over the last twelve months, already building a solid profile with the first two installments of his ?Love & Gratiude? series. And now he delivers the third, and final, part of this musical trilogy, with seven brand new tracks. Featuring on the double pack vinyl are four choice cuts, with the remaining tracks coming on digital download, and Valentino himself mixing a continuous ?Love & Gratitude? mix to be released on CD, featuring many of the compositions released on the series. ?Viole(n)t Thoughts? opens the vinyl pack, a sultry and smooth workout, its light percussion providing the melody, and a groove that is so intoxicating, its 14 minute tenure really hypnotises. ?Automatique? is a track that comes with grand design, cinematic string sweeps and deft keys shape the deep house rhythm, its filtered hats forever propelling things forward. On the second disc, ?Chord Release? continues to define Kanzyani?s sound, a minimal and dark pallette onto which sub-tropical effects and precision hits and claps are layered, but never over cooking the recipie, just on point and effective dance rhythms. And closing the vinyl EP is ?Nesimtitule?, its disjointed arrangement providing the space for the vocal hits and wandering bass, and an elegant string breakdown, again giving filmatic qualities to his music that have been so prevalent in the Love & Gratitude series.
