Mineral House vinyl

While both storied producers in their own right, this EP marks the collaborative debut of Retromigration (a rising star of the Amsterdam house underground) nd Berlin scene stalwart Niklas Wandt. Appearing on Paramida's frequently saucer-eyed and loved-up Love On The Rocks label, the four tracks on show are wonderfully nostalgic, taking cues from dance music's most kaleidoscopic era at the turn of the 90s. Check first the tactile dancefloor dreaminess of 'New Days', where colourful synth stabs and jaunty organ riffs ride a thickset, up-tempo house groove, before admiring the early 90s garage-house meets breakbeat-house cheeriness of 'Himmelhoch'. The pair opts for a funkier and more bass-heavy take on the early 90s breakbeat house on 'Mister K', while 'Broesel' is a more sub-heavy deep house number that rolls along at a techno tempo.
