Fideles is the joint moniker of Italian duo Daniele Aprile and Mario Roberti, who have carved out a niche for their distinctive brand of deep, techy house on noted labels such as Defected, Be As One, and Marco Resmann’s Upon You, among others.

Here on their first outing for Poker Flat Recordings, the duo cook up four courses of lean, focussed tech-house for Steve Bug’s seminal imprint.

‘Detuned’ starts the journey – an edgy, tense groove exhibiting the boy’s masterful sound design and use of space to create a thick, intoxicated atmosphere.

‘I’m Rude’ is more direct – a thumping bass drum introduces a low slung bass groove, slowly evolving and mutating into a true party-starter.

‘Worthy’ uses similar building blocks but delivers a different vibe altogether, revelling in a minimalist production aesthetic and cheeky bass riff.

‘Ran Baran’, the title track, is another lesson in great production – each element perfectly balanced to create an atmosphere of controlled mayhem – which is exactly the response this entire EP aims to instigate on dancefloors.
