A Club Called Heaven is the debut release from Italian duo Frankie Mami and Edberg on Vitalik Recordings. The duo first came into contact with the Ibiza based imprint via their Circo Loco residency and their studio work with friends and label mates, System Of Survival. DOS’s prowess in the studio was soon made apparent, Frankie being well schooled in the arts of mixing and mastering and crucially their joint ability as purveyors of fine house.
Space plays a lead role in this EP, there is refreshing expansiveness throughout. The warm bass and ethereal melodies of the title track set the tone. ‘Aphase’ builds the tension with its gently phasing lead and deep reverberated keys. The aptly named ‘Outta Space’ takes things into orbit, deftly layered percussion and reverb create a lush sound-bed for the crescendo of synths that step the track up into something quite special – a transitional energy track, a secret weapon.
Friend and DC10 stalwart resident Andrew Grant delivers a remix that is deeply reflective of the kind of slow, chugging monsters that daytime dancing in DC10 became famous for. The shimmering, forlorn lead contrasts acutely against the low-slung dub bass to give his interpretation an almost anthem’ic quality.
Vitalik regular Paul Loraine delivers some resolute dance floor action in the form of a steady rolling builder. A solid kick and a stabbing bass line wound in a hypnotic groove are the essence of this remix. In keeping with the vibe of the EP it’s understated but simple and effective.
