Cinthie – Musique For Discotheques EP

Description

Cinthie joins the Heist fam with an EP full of lush, epic house music with 3 originals and a St. David remix.

Cinthie is the kind of artist who seems to be everywhere all at once. In the past years, weve seen her compile a lush DJ Kicks compilation, release numerous EPs on labels such as Aus music, run one of Berlins finest record stores (Elevate Records), tour the world fiercely, and create an all-new live show. Her EP for Heist has been in the works for a long, long time and its an absolute pleasure to finally present the Music for Discotheques EP. Spoiler alert: Its a no holds-back, all killers, no fillers record. Just the way we like it.

In classic Cinthie fashion, this EP has the Berlin-based artist explore various sides of house music, starting with the vocal cut Wont u take me. Lush pads, shuffling snares and a dreamy female vocal work together to bring a warm and classy house track with a clear nod to 90s US house, but with its feet firmly rooted in the present.

Piano heaven takes you on an Italo-meets-deephouse excursion straight intoDrum roll: Piano heaven. A driving 909 groove and a deceptively simple bass form the foundation of the track, but its the keys (and strings) that bring this track to its full peak-time potential. The energy in this track is of the hands-in-the-air /screaming-out-loud type and it has already become one of the biggest tracks in Cinthies live-show.

On the flip, Cinthie explores the pacier electronic side of the dance spectrum, with the footwork inspired jam Masterplan. Think classic 808s, loopy synths and a cheeky spoken word piece that lifts the song to a level where its extremely danceable and quite simply put; really fun.

The final track of the EP is the expertly crafted remix by Italian house maestro St. David; an artist Cinthie has always been a big fan of. Hes made a dazzling rework of Piano Heaven: A deep and driving deephouse version thats layered in sweeps, fx and bleeps for an altogether mesmerizing effect.

Were thrilled that we can share Cinthies music on the label and have her join the family after having played so many shows together and having spoken about doing something together for such a long time. As always, play it loud and dance, dance, dance!

Yours Sincerely,
Maarten & Lars
