Sam Russo Vanishing Test EP

Vitalik Recordings welcomes Sam Russo to the ranks with the rather fantastic Vanishing Test EP. Sam's production skills defy his years, his style defined and his sound signature. His trained ears have been sought after by the likes of Craig Richards, Matt Tolfrey and Huxley in recent studio collaborations. His music is non-categorical genre speaking however his influences permeate his music, dub and bass play key roles, darkness and light coexist in a dynamic juxtaposition, bright expansive pads soar over rumbling kicks and moody bass lines. Enlisting another protagonist of the next wave of UK underground producers, Jordan Peak delivers a low slung, industrial feeling number aimed squarely at the floor, his trademark snappy percussion and body moving bassline make this cut somewhat of a weapon. Finally MRSK rounds off the EP with (for want of a better description) a peak time banger. Sharing the production values of collaborators and friends Skudge, similarly MRSK manages to attain an unsurpassed clarity and magnitude of sound in his productions, this is no less evident in this remix, this remix is BIG.
