Nitam: Retold – 12-INCH SINGLE

Berlin-born and -based Nitam’s first release as a producer immediately gives a clear impression of his versatile production style. Whereas the record as a whole gauges dark, vibrating spaces, it’s subtle details bristle with musicality, be it the gradually building layers of melody (Retold), the strikingly euphoric vocal snippets (Value Time), the chilled synth lines (Exiam), or the meandering sound pads (Neotyp). with modulating rhythmic structures, dry percussion slaps, straightforward milling bass drums, and late ’80s- and early 90’s-inspired house elements, the Retold EP does not follow a single, rigid master-plan and should please techno and breaks devotees alike.
