Italy’s infamous Caposille collective present their sixth release on Caposile Music, inviting of one of the UK’s finest rising talents, Charlie Banks. Hailing from London, Charlie has firmly positioned himself as a key player in the ever-evolving sound of minimal and house, bringing an infectious groove and slick production which his latest EP ‘Come My Way’ illustrates for the Italian crew.
Charlie Banks has been quietly but steadily building a reputation for delivering dancefloor-ready tunes with a distinctive edge. His sound is all about hypnotic rhythms, rich textures and a blend of melodic subtleties. Caposile Music is the ideal home for such a release, known for championing a tech-house sound that reflect the energy and vibe of their iconic Venice venue.
The premiered track, ‘Your Love’ is a smooth, groove-laden cut that layers soulful vocals over a tight, driving bassline. The subtle interplay between the melodic elements and intricate percussion creates a captivating atmosphere, while the percussions’ rolling energy keeps things moving.
You can picture all the frequent faces at After Caposile spinning this one, whether it’s Dungeon Meat, Shonky or Dyed Soundorom, the peak time, tech-house vibe is bound to see frequent play time. ‘Keep Faith’ offers a more uplifting cut on the flip side, working slippery synth work between a mean acid line that channels a hopeful energy as much as a menacing atmosphere.
Lush melodies reveal a more fragile side to Charlie’s sound that would for sure soundtrack a sunset or sunrise moment with ease. ‘Come To My Way’ concludes the EP with a slinky UK garage inspired cut. Leaning into his UK roots, dreamy keys and a nimble bassline dart between slick, snappy percussion that is gasping for a busy dance floor.
Caposile’s latest release follows on from a healthy run of EPs that have featured the likes of ADMNTI and Julian Anthony, shaping fiery club bombs that represent the up-for-it vibe After Caposile have become known for.
