Nick Minieri - Let It Go

Part Of: Lo​-​Fi Archives EP Release Date: Buy Link: Nick Minieri SoundCloud | Bandcamp | Release Text: Back in the mid 2010s I was caught up in the lo-fi house craze. Not just the raw, no-frills aesthetic of the music itself, but also the online community, many of who were energetic kids half my age using it as an entry point to traverse the rabbit hole of house music’s massive history. While now dismissed by many as a bygone fad, I still quite like making it on occasion. I wanted to do a limited run of some of the tracks I’ve made in this vein over the past few years that never saw the light of day. So here it is: the Lo-Fi Archives EP. Includes four tracks made between 2016, as its popularity was on the uptick, and 2020, when the clubs were locked down and its glory days in the rear view. All of them employ heavy use of distortion, pitch drift, filters, colorful chord progressions, dusty sample stabs run through my Akai s950, and all the other tropes lo-fi house was known for. Additionally, everything on the EP was produced and mixed entirely in mono and bounced to tape to give it a raw and rugged feel. These tunes punch right down the center and are guaranteed to sound exactly the same in the club no matter where in the room you’re standing. The EP comes as a clear, lathe-cut 10” vinyl record with full black and white label designs and a white paper sleeve. The sound quality is very close to the digital masters, with low surface noise and close to same feeling of a standard vinyl pressed at the plant. It’s a super limited run of 25 copies priced at $. At a later date I plan to release a stereo mix of “Let It Go” as a digital download, plus a radio edit for streaming; be on the lookout for those. Thank you for the support! More vinyl to come if this sells well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berlin House Music Submit Your Music | Store | Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | SoundCloud |
