Italian Tech House duo Proudly People, proudly step up to the plate for the 36th release on Blackflag Recordings offering up 3 solid, groove-driven bombs. Known for producing groovy rhythmic patterns, the boys from Italy did not disappoint when releasing on Stacey Pullen’s imprint. The 3 track EP entitled “Time Up EP” is truly made for the dancefloor with an array of cleverly situated vocal snippets tightly knitted into the grooves of the basslines. Title track “Time Up” plays out with some prominent hi-hats and snares amongst a b-line that sings a groove throughout. “Stray Bullet” comes with a slightly different feel but the rubbery bass is still hard-hitting, and the accompanying sounds give the track a somewhat skippy feel, perfect for the moment. My personal favourite track of the EP has to be the final track “Mind Blown”. Straight from the intro, I’m immediately enticed by the feel of the groove and the sound of the hats. The driving groove of the bassline tickles me all over and the simplicity of the different vocal samples throughout make this a quality track.
