Since emerging in 2011, Milan-born Stefano Kosa has positioned himself as one to watch. Past releases on labels such as Toolroom, Elrow, Night Light Records and Deeperfect have garnered him support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, who often spins his tracks during performances.
‘Queen Of My House’ kicks off the four-track EP, a stomping-groover that combines a tight selection of drums and percussive fills with looped vocals and deep, rumbling Sub-bass.
‘Warrior (Dub Mix)’ follows on, and once again sees Stefano blending heavy Techno sounds with Tech-House rhythms, utilising dark synth stabs to add further tension and intensity to this excellent six-minute number.
Next up comes ‘In A Trip’, a psychedelic offering that relies heavily on the tribal-inspired percussion that offsets the mesmerising pad tones, flowing in well-crafted builds and breakdowns.
Closing the EP is French DJ/producer and FORM favourite Noisered, who remixes ‘In A Trip’, turning the track into a stripped down deep groover that boasts an abundance of intriguing vocal samples.
