Marco Zaffarano, a veteran of the German techno scene, and up-and-coming producer Andy Lupoli deliver an energetic three-track release on the legendary Harthouse label with the “Number One EP”. The EP combines uncompromising techno power with modern sound design and is a clear statement for the club and festival stages of the world: direct, powerful and to the point.
The tracks on “Number One EP” are uncompromisingly geared towards the dance floor and combine old-school drive with the precision of current production techniques. The result is a powerful yet balanced sound that inspires both nostalgic ravers and modern techno fans.
Tracklist
Number One: A rousing opener and a real peak-time tool. Stomping kicks, sparkling percussion and a concise synth hook drive the track forward with unstoppable force. Direct, effective and made to make the walls of warehouse clubs shake.
Up and Down: Groovy, playful and dynamic – Up and Down cleverly uses breaks, drops and rhythmic gimmicks to build tension. The finely programmed drum work and the rolling bass keep the energy constantly high, while texture-rich sounds create hypnotic depth.
Destiny: The most emotional track on the EP. Destiny combines technoid hardness with melodic sensitivity. The harmonic elements give the track an unexpected depth without sacrificing club suitability. Ideal as the emotional climax of a set – or as a dramatically effective closer.
