Italian duo Neverdogs mint their brand new label Bamboleo Records with a powerful four track EP that serves as a fine statement of intent.

The label—which launched with a special party at BPM in 2018 and has been hosting a monthly event at 93 feet East in London since October 2018—will focus on house, techno and minimal with a funky edge. As well as their own material, it will release big names from the international scene and aims to inspire and generate new emotions for the dance floor. Neverdogs themselves have been turning out essential sets and tracks since 2000. They have released on an array of labels including Snatch!, Avotre, This And That, Roush among others, and played everywhere from BPM Festival & Sunwaves to Marco Carola’s Music On.

Up first is the thrilling ‘Underground Activity’, a dubbed out deep techno roller. It has warm chords bringing plenty of scale to the slick, kinetic drums. The superb ‘Solution’ is a more churning, lively tech cut with wobbling hooks and metallic drums. It’s one to get the floor moving, with dark vocals finishing it in style.

Keeping up the dynamic dance floor vibes, ‘Stop Talking’ slips into a moody and stripped back house framework, with dry hits echoing out into a cavernous atmosphere. With real swagger and cosmic overtones in the keys, it’s another excellent side to this pair’s sound. Last of all, ‘Destination’ is a dramatic vocal DJ tool with broad synths and molten bass all warping round each other.

This is a devastating package from a bright new label that both DJs and dancers are sure to love.

DJ Feedback:

Stacey Pullen - The first track “Underground Activity” grooves with a late night melodic tone that is very hypnotic but also a driving force that keeps you moving.

The track “Solution” is a very well produced sweet seductive female vocals and for me it’s more of the driving force of the track that really makes it playable. It’s a breath of fresh air from what I’ve been hearing over past few months.

“Stop Talking” when it first started I wasn’t really feeling it but as time went on in the song it grew on me & it became a real late night groove, something that I used to hear back in the days of melodies and cool grooves.

Destination which is a DJ tool Is a perfect track to end the night or to break up the nonstop party mode which is needed every once in a while. you can tell with this EP that there was a lot of thought process that went into making these tracks, congrats on the boys for producing such a well thought out EP.
