With his second full EP on Will Saul’s Aus Music label, Damiano von Erckert rings in a housey summer with a partly imaginated vision of opened clubs and a reality that mostly belies these expectations. However, DvE’s latest three tracker Pete is meant to be for the floors – as the artist himself visualized this surrounding when producing the tracks – and is dedicated to all those people filling the latter with joy and happiness. The EP’s title track Pete is an uplifting almost mental or cosmic House take, which has a tremendous and intriguing groove which is later on in the track even more supported by a vocal that it has the momentum on its side. After his remix for Cinthie’s City Lights, Pete (maybe a shout out to Mr. Tong?) itself musically follows in the steps of the artist’s contribution Hideaway to the Live At Robert Johnson compilation Lifesaver Vol. 4, which was out at the end of last year – just with a slightly more dreamy and summer-ish note and probably Damiano’s gift to a clear blue sky.
Damiano von Erckert’s EP Pete is released on Aus Music on July 8th, 2021.
