Other Mik Santoro
Stefano Pini - Industry (Mik Santoro Remix)

Just before the summer begins, Berlin’s Ampispazi is ready to release another quality single, this time coming from Italy’s Stefano Pini, at his debut with the label. Stefano has previously released with other labels such as Frequenza, Scandler, Simplex, Autist, Eklero gaining respect and supports all around the European’s scene. His first installment on Ampispazi, ‘Industry’, is a solid original track backed up with 2 remixes from two keys figures in the imprint’s mechanisms: Mik Santoro and Ercos Blanka. The original version is a dance floor focused tune, one of those that could easily fit an opening set or that could be dropped at the middle of a late night’s one: a melodic jumpy tech-house track in which an uplifting synth lines is merged with relentless percussions and bass-line. Label’s head Mik Santoro moves with his remix the atmosphere of the original track onto a more psychedelic imaginary, merging noises and profound vocals with hypnotic synth-lines and deep electronic grooves, for a proper after-hour cut. Ercos Blanka with his remix goes into opposite direction from the other two producers, creating a very elaborate mix; the track starts with some proper classic dub-techno bits, from the bassline to the kick, but when the melody starts it discloses a completely different soul: an ethereal chord opens towards the tune before the drop while different synth lines slowly grows into different melodic layers which reminds us Mano Le Tough and his style in his ‘Primitive People’ LP. A song before than a record.
