Cosmic Garden Sealaconda EP

Fresh off of the back of starting his own label, Cosmic Rhythm, and a release on Simoncino's Hotmix records; Cosmic Garden continues to grow root and flourish for his release for Happy Skull. The Bari based producer offers up two tracks for his Happy Skull debut, drawing influence from decades of hazy Italian deep house, the vibrancy of Rimini disco and the utopian sensibility of vintage ambient. 'Sealaconda' slithers it's way deep in to the psyche, distinctly italo but with a firm nod to 90's Detroit. Preoccupata' draws on darker elements with a wave inspired bass line and clipped vocal snippets. On the flipside, Happy Skull regular Creta Kano offers up his interpretations of Cosmic Garden's kaleidoscopic productions. His version of "Preoccupata" retains the deep and colourful fluidity of the Italian's original version, whilst introducing a spacey, electro-inspired rhythm and gently undulating acid lines. To round things off Creta Kano turns down the tempo and ups the intensity on his wonderfully screwed dub, a fittingly beautiful end to the EP.
