☉ Tapefeed & Z.I.P.P.O – Dual Dimension [Fides]

Italian collaboration for this new EP on Z.I.P.P.O’s label Fides. This 20th release is a split EP between the label owner himself and the eclectic duo Tapefeed. Opening the EP are the two tracks produced by Tapefeed, one for peak-time sweaty dancefloors for a sonic-tribalism voyage, and the second one to dive deep into more hypnotic and reflective waters. In the side B Z.I.P.P.O delivers a first 909 structure-based track with complex synths envelopes and a closing track as an atmospheric and concrete deep techno tool.
