Lorenzo BITW Love Junction

If you’ve been out to a certain type of club in Europe over the past few years (genreambivalent,
rhythmically adventurous), you’ll almost certainly have come across Rome-based
producer Lorenzo BITW’s neck snapping syncopations and joyously constructed hooks. Releases
for touted club brands Enchufada and Nervous Horizon have brought Lorenzo’s tracks to
dancefloors and radio waves alike and he’s proven comfortable across tempo and mood.
Having previously released the Mina-assisted “Tombura”, Lorenzo’s deft drum
concoctions will be familiar to fans of the label, but the breadth of Love Junction shows a
newfound confidence, embodied in the warm embrace of “Hello” and the technical, start-stop
strut of “Goo”. Equal parts earnest and assertive -- and provide two potential pop moments, the
former for faded LA summer drives and the latter dank London basements.
Throughout Love Junction, tempo shifts and earworm hooks keep the listener quite
literally on their toes but its the emotional acuity imbued throughout that ties the album together
from start to finish.
