Berlin house label Home Again lines up a versatile stack of tracks from Brazilian rooted producer Thalo Santana, with his best buddy DJOKO on remix duties. Coming to Berlin via Cologne, Santana is a much-loved resident of the Home Again event series which was launched four years ago by Berlin DJ and producer Thabo. Meeting through work, Santana soon found a permanent slot within the Home Again collective as he and Thabo shared the same musical vision, and together they developed this vision into what the label represents today. While based in Cologne, Santana, with the man of the hour DJOKO among others, launched an event and label collective in HOOVE which thrived and later found roots in Berlin. The EP kicks off with ‘Sonne’, a thumping chugger with its vigorous 4 to the floor heat, kinetic pace and energy-kicking melody. DJOKO, a producer who’s risen up the ranks with a slew of cuts via labels Berg Audio and Rutilance, gives ‘Sonne’ a re-rub, going deeper with punchy drums that shift smoothly into a rapturous, vocal-led breakdown. ‘Victoria’ exhibits Thalo’s skill in crafting blissed-out breaks, while ‘Blinker’ closes on a mellowed, expansive 2-step trip.
