EMANUELE BARILLI, SCOTT ANDREWS — Dialogues Vol.1 EP

Inner Balance kicks off a new series of split EPs under the rubric ‘Dialogues’, featuring two adept producers from Italy and the UK. On the A, Emanuele Barilli brings summery house grooves on ‘Roots’ and ‘Unknown Na’, drawing on the tried and tested deep house templates of Charles Webster and catapulting them into today’s dancefloor. Transverse Recordings founder Scott Andrews takes care of the flip with classy jazzy house in the vein of vintage Larry Heard on ‘Willerminstral’, before the refined, loopy minimal house of ‘Renegade’ closes things out. It’s yet another well-rounded EP in the superlative Inner Balance catalogue, ready to lift dancers to a higher plane.
