Early February will see Andrea Oliva deliver his ‘Jungle Party’ EP via Kaluki Musik, coming accompanied by a remix from Darius Syrossian.

2016 was an incredible year for Swiss producer and DJ Andrea Oliva, with his releases for The Martinez Brother’s Cuttin’ Headz and Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound finding their way to the top of the charts as well as his regular slots headlining at ANTS further cementing him as one of the contemporary house’s most promising artists. Here we see Oliva joining the roster of Kaluki Musik, an equally important driving force in modern house with recent releases from Citizenn, Leftwing & Kody and label-heads Pirate Copy.

The original mix of title track ‘Jungle Party’ takes the lead with Oliva’s signature weighty rhythmic style, laid out over seven and a half minutes with evolving, organic percussion and throbbing sub bass and stuttering vocal shots before Darius Syrossian’s take strips things back to a rawer state with crunchy drums, flute licks and a snaking bass hook.

‘Right Now’ follows with a similarly upfront percussive drive, fusing bouncing toms and sharp hats with a classic hip-house vocal line before ‘Keep On Get It’ closes the package and sees Andrea explore a more stripped-back aesthetic with low-slung rhythms, filtered vocal swells and spiralling resonant synths.

Richy Ahmed can be heard playing ‘Right Now’ at Faust on the 25minute mark.

Andrea Oliva’s ‘Jungle Party’ EP is out on Kaluki Musik 6th February 2017.
