Paul Render and Leopold Bär’s new EP is a masterful tribute to the Neapolitan techno sound that shaped underground club music in the late 90s and early 2000s. Drawing inspiration from legends like Gaetano Parisio, Marco Carola, and Danilo Vigoritto, the duo channels the raw, driving energy of Italian techno’s golden age.
The tracks are a study in hypnotic simplicity, built on relentless beats, rolling basslines, and meticulously crafted percussion patterns. There is an unmistakable balance between groove and momentum—a hallmark of the era they pay tribute to. Each layer of sound evolves naturally, creating a seamless progression that keeps listeners locked in from start to finish.
The EP’s versatility is a key strength. While undeniably designed for the dancefloor, the tracks hold their own as standalone pieces, offering plenty of depth and detail for more intimate listening. Render and Bär’s production is clean, powerful, and precise, demonstrating a clear understanding of techno’s sonic impact.
By honoring the past while injecting a modern sensibility, Paul Render and Leopold Bär have crafted a release that feels both timeless and current. It’s a must-listen for anyone who loves groove-driven techno and a testament to the enduring appeal of the Neapolitan sound.
