OPIA Records, known for their eclectic and forward-thinking music, has recently launched a new sub-label, OWL, dedicated to a white label series that promises to deliver fresh and innovative sounds. The inaugural release from this offshoot features the Napolitan duo Two Opposites with their “Electropobia EP,” a collection that highlights their signature Italo style. Among the tracks on this EP, “80s Fight” stands out as a quintessential example of grooving, hypnotic Italo Electro House.
“80s Fight” immediately draws listeners in with its lush bassline, setting a solid foundation for the track’s infectious rhythm. The bassline is both deep and driving, creating an undercurrent that propels the music forward with a relentless energy. This element alone would make the track noteworthy, but Two Opposites enhance it with a captivating synth line that feels both nostalgic and fresh, just like the track title suggests.
The synths in “80s Fight” are reminiscent of classic 80s Italo disco, yet they are infused with a modern Electro House twist. The melodies are catchy and memorable, weaving through the track with an almost hypnotic quality. This balance of old and new is where Two Opposites truly excel, crafting a sound that is at once familiar and innovative. The track evokes the spirit of the 80s while maintaining a contemporary edge that will appeal to today’s dance music enthusiasts.
As the track progresses, subtle layers and elements are introduced, keeping the listener engaged. The production is polished and precise, with each component of the track fitting together seamlessly. The hypnotic groove of “80s Fight” is further enhanced by well-timed breaks and builds, ensuring that the energy never wanes and the dance floor remains captivated.
“80s Fight” from Two Opposites’ “Electropobia EP” is a standout track that perfectly captures the essence of Italo Electro House. The lush bassline and catchy synth-line make it a memorable and engaging listen, while the overall production quality showcases the duo’s talent and attention to detail. With this release, OWL’s white label series is off to a promising start, and OPIA Records continues to solidify its reputation for delivering cutting-edge music. For fans of Italo and Electro House, “80s Fight” is a must-listen track that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
