Arancini EP vinyl

Berlin-based Italians Gabriele Micheli and Riccardo Paffetti (aka Black Loops) have presented some great tracks over the last six years on labels from Toy Tonics to Gruuv and Madhouse, in addition to becoming staples of local imprint Neovinyl. "Arancini EP" comes courtesy of homeboys Quality Vibe, and the grooves on here (much like its name suggests), seem hard on the outside but smooth and saucy inside. It's the usual swinging' and boompty business you've come to expect from the label, especially on opener "The Leopol Swag". On the flip, we're loving the title track - a rolling after hours tech house (on the minimal tip) fare in conjunction with fellow Berliner Ed Herbst.
