Amsterdam’s Easttown joins the roster of Cécille Records this April with his four-track ‘Chaos’ EP.
Dutch producer and DJ Easttown debuted in 2018 and has since gone on to release his modern interpretation of a classic house sound via the likes of the powerhouse ElRow Music, Franky Rizardo’s LTF Records, Folamour’s House Of Love and Amsterdam’s NEED Music among others. Here, Easttown’s latest collection of works comes via Nick Curly and Marc Scholl’s long running Cécille Records and sees the imprint continue to shine a light on the rising talents of the Dutch capital, following on from EP’s by D.Stone and Rooléh.
Leading the EP is title-track ‘Chaos’, laid out across six minutes with a rolling drum groove, swelling sub bass, an amalgamation of choppy vocal cuts and swirling filtered synths lines. ‘Passion’ follows and retains a similarly loop led aesthetic via a snaking low- end drive and crisp drums, intertwined with ever unfurling sweeping atmospherics and intricate
synth effects.
Opening the flip-side is ‘Athletic’, veering into more disco infused House territory via a funk tinged bass groove, orgnanic percussion, jazzy keys, cinematic strings and resonant synth licks. ‘Circles’ then concludes the EP, laying down crunchy drums and bouncy plucked bass notes with heavily delayed resonant stabs a hazy underlying atmospheric tension.
