Yore proudly presents Marcello Napoletano, who is more than just the man of the hour, with his extraordinary releases presented on Mathematics, Uzuri and Quintessentials. This Ep follows the roots of classic raw House musics in its purest most authentic form. “I am large, I contain multitudes,” wrote Walt Whitman in Song of Myself. In a non-literary sense, so too does Italian producer Marcello Napoletano, based on the aural evidence documented on his Yore debut From the Depths of My Mind. Maximal in the extreme, the three effervescent tracks (which arrive only months after his debut album, The Space Voodoo, appeared on Jamal Moss’s Mathematics Recordings) teem with so much detail they come to resemble live jams laid down in packed clubs. Also the opener, “Mother Earth,” alludes to the all-encompassing character of the material. The banging cut barrels out of the gate with a bass-heavy thump while all manner of birds, wildlife, ands voices chatter in the background and sparse Rhodes chords warm the proceedings.Equally epic in spirit, “Black Sea” brings dub into the mix by draping echoing chords over a dizzying array of tablas, hi-hats, and pounding kick drums, and things take a ’70s fusion-flavoured turn halfway through when a Jan Hammer-like Moog solo surfaces. Even more irresistible is the stunning Track “Rage Against,” a funky, booty-bass throwdown that anchors Muhammad Ali-esque braggadocio-repeated protestations of “I am the greatest / You must listen to me"-with a deliciously slinky funk-house swing that Napoletano fleshes out with synthetic strings and percussion. It’s the kind of dance voodoo that fills the club floor. A release as essentials as Air to breath.
