Cazap & Boskis, Niko Rizzo – Personal Space [Soundteller Records]

Cazap & Boskis return to Deersky's Soundteller Records for a first time collaboration with Niko Rizzo. Hailing from Buenos Aires, the Argentinean duo first appeared on the Polish imprint in October of last year with a contribution to the label's ADE 2018 Sampler. A standout on the collection, 'Before Paris' then went on to be selected by label as part of their prestigious 'Best of 2018' compilation to round out the year. Now returning to the label for their first single, Cazap & Boskis join forces with Niko Rizzo for 'Personal Space' alongside a remix from progressive house star Black 8'.

The original mix comes in with a smooth and shimmering progressive house sensibility. Groovy and grandiose at points, it's a composition which balances highly rhythmic bookends with a stunningly gorgeous centrepiece. From deeper, almost meditative beginnings the warm, chugging groove lays the foundation for timely percussive splashes, brilliant tonal motifs and sensory saturating sweeps. The build into the second act is methodical, as layer after layer of atmospheric colour gives way to subtle but poignant modulation and symphonic chord changes, for a highly memorable dance floor moment.

The lone interpretation of ‘Personal Space’ is provided by Black 8 who makes his label debut. Based in Cairo, the Egyptian artist has long been a favourite of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. His progressive minded sound has been showcased on some of the genre’s most trusted imprints such as Hope Recordings, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden. Now following a remix for Afterglow and a contribution to Hernan Cattaneo's 'Sunset Strip' Balance compilation, Black 8 debuts on Soundteller with an amazing interpretation of ‘Personal Space’. Exotic drums and a warm, humming low end immediately grab your attention, before you're effortless taken away into a wall of melody and colour. Staying true to the main theme of the original, Black 8 captures those nostalgic feelings during the main break, before a timely roll and underlying drum flurry transfers energy into a percussive finale. A brilliant remix from Black 8 who makes his Soundteller debut a memorable one. It rounds out another on the money release for the Polish imprint, perhaps one of their most emotive all year in fact. Highly recommended.
