Marlò – What is that? [Miditrip Records]

Marló inaugurates her Midi Trip Records this January with the 90’s house inspired ‘Rave Is Now’ EP, comprising three orignal cuts from the Istanbul based artist.

Originally hailing from Italy and now residing in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul, Marlò is a producer, DJ, radio show host and lover of underground sounds in the sphere of Techno, Disco, House and beyond. After more than a decade honing her sound we here see Marlò mark the biggest chapter in her story so far with the launch of her own imprint Miditrip Records, launched alongside co-founder Salih Topuz, with a new three-track EP, producer using an array of classic analogue machines.

Setting the tone for what’s to come and kick starting the EP is title-track ‘Rave Is Now’, as the name would suggest bringing a heavily 90’s rave influenced sound into the present courtesy of choppy stabs, crunchy drums, gritty synth hooks and twitchy vocoded vocal chops.

‘You’ follows and retains a similar rave leaning aesthetic via shimmering piano lines, a bumpy bass hook and a swinging rhythm section. ‘What Is That?’ then concludes the EP on a cinematic tip with trance-tinged synth melodies, airy arpeggios, organ bass groove and a dynamic drum machine workout.
