Two Beating Hearts vinyl

It seems as though things have been going from strength to strength for Arnaldo following sterling outings on UntilMyHeartStops, Blank Slate and Greta Cottage Workshop over the past few years. This latest offering is for German label Aim, and it finds the producer drawing on his myriad points of reference to conjure up distinctive wares for the deeper kind of dance. "Primavera" has something of a peak time piano laden burner about it, but there's enough sample choppery and wayward delay powering the groove to keep the overall sound joyously unkempt, which could also be said of skippy, soul-infected cut "Only I Know The Name Of This Track". "Blossom" cools things off slightly with a more mellow, chiming deep techno excursion, all the while shot through with that unconventional style that defines Arnaldo to date.
