Bottin – Parody & Progresso

Bottin is back this New Year with his ‘Parody / Progesso’ EP on Bearfunk which includes a collaboration with Rodion.

For the labels sixty-fourth release the London-based Bearfunk Records invites back long-time member of the label family & good friend Bottin. January will see him drop a brand new single, re- joining Bearfunk’s impressive roster that boasts names such as Todd Terje, Ray Mang, Max Essa and Blakula to name a few.

The Italian native now residing in Venice has a rather impressive back catalogue which he has seamlessly built over a decade in the industry, notably marking releases on Nang Records, Tin, Perseo, Eskimo Recordings as well as two LP contributions on Bearfunk.

For ‘Parody’ Bottin delivers an epic 13 minute plus cut, working in catchy keyboard riffs and soothing subterranean basslines over playful percussion to dish up a track with an undeniably soulful and infectious groove. For the second offering on the EP Bottin teams up with fellow Italian Rodion, who has released a wealth of material on Gomma, Eskimo and Nang. ‘Progresso’ is right on the mark with delicate bass swells, oscillating keys and shifting percussion that the pair combine sublimely to deliver a somewhat slower yet playfully melodic cut that really comes into its own.

With this latest release Bottin shows once again why he is so highly respected as a producer and furtehr cements his relationship with the ever excellent Bearfunk.
