Press Info:
Raffaele Attanasio drops his first EP for two years as he heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s Mutual Rytm for his ‘Quasar’ EP.

A product of Naples’ rich techno history, Italian DJ, producer and musician Raffaele Attanasio is an artist who represents the city’s iconic sound while drawing from influences across the Atlantic and the genre’s home of Detroit. Garnering plaudits from artists including Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims, while releasing on Mills’ Axis alongside Non Series, Third Wave Black, and his own Letter From Jerusalem imprint, Attanasio’s eclectic sound now delves into Italian techno of the early 2000s as he makes his label debut on Mutual Rytm – revealing his first EP in over two years and showcasing a new side to his sound with ‘Quasar’.

Title track ‘Quasar’ brings a tunnelling groove beneath floating melodies and zipping synths, before A2 ‘Asterion’ combines dubby stabs and punchy kicks effortlessly. On the flip, ‘Blazar’ is a squelchy acid-led trip guided by sharp metallic hats, with ‘Axial Inclination’ utilising jittering drums and slinking bass to keep the energy levels rolling. ‘Chara’ shapes up the physical package, a skipping, spirited and classy cut fusing hazy textures and crisp percussion, while digital exclusive ‘SGR’ sees things return to acid territories, with purchasers able to access a darker impactful take on techno.
