The ‘Fighting With Fire’ EP by MITAD is an intriguing mix of moods ranging from love and darkness with styles dabbling throughout the grounds of bass and dance. ‘Let Me Show You’ is a dream-pop sensation with sparkling waves and a groovy beat. The title track brings a light yet lively dnb beat with a welcoming and alluring voice over the top. ‘Demons’ holds a sinful side with a nature of desire and a deep house production. The whole EP is a joyful plethora or emotions.

Mitad, a brand new electronic duo consisting of electronic producer/composer Sal Lo Cascio and vocalist Katherine Downham, share their debut EP exclusively via NexGenMusic. The duo is currently situated in different parts of the country and mostly use modern technology to bridge the barriers of distance and language to collaborate.

Speaking about the challenges of recording an EP while located in different parts of the country, Katherine shares, “Distance will never stop the creation of music. Recording from two entirely different areas in England did not prevent us from finishing the album. It may have taken a little longer than it may do usually, but nothing rushed/quick/instant is worth having.” 

On creating new music for Mitad, Sal states, “Diversity is the best word to represent this release. No music border allowed. Bitter and sweet it is the main call in this music feast. The best thing of this recording experience has been characterized by the complete freedom left to each other in expressing our art.”

Mitad’s debut offering, Fighting With Fire, sees the duo blend their influences together to create a melting pot of musical excellence. Drum and bass fans will find solace in tracks such as ‘Trust’, ‘Fighting With Fire’, ‘Lost Smile’, and ‘You’. Alternatively ‘Let Me Show You’ has all of the makings of a vocal club classic, while ‘Demons’, and ‘Hiding’ sport undeniable quality deep house vibes. ‘Why’ is a silver-toned piano ballad, showcasing the variety of the Mitad sound. The closing track on the EP is an extended version of ‘Let Me Show You’; perfectly crafted to be the highlight of any DJ’s set.
