Cosa Nostra, the new EP by producers Leopold Bär and Paul Render, is an auditory journey that pays homage to the early musical influences of these talented artists, while blending the iconic sound of Neapolitan techno with a fresh, contemporary twist.
From the very first track, the influence of Bär’s formative years in Austria is palpable, as the DJ and producer’s electronic roots intertwine with the technical precision of Paul Render, a Galician sound engineer, mastering expert, and DJ. Together, they craft a sonic experience that captures the essence of the classic while delivering a modern execution.
Released under the dZb Records label as part of the La Seria Special Edition SN, Cosa Nostra is a deliberate nod to the past without falling into nostalgia. Instead, it stands as a reinterpretation of Neapolitan techno, a style known for its deep rhythms and dark grooves, yet here with a “vintage” touch that adds an extra layer of texture and authenticity.
The production is impeccable, which comes as no surprise given Render’s background as a sound engineer and owner of labels like M4rlow, WRD, dZb, and The Rhymes Records. Each track on the EP is meticulously crafted, with powerful basslines and immersive rhythms that keep the listener in a nearly hypnotic state.
Cosa Nostra not only celebrates Bär and Render’s beginnings in the scene but also highlights their evolution and mastery in music production. This EP is not just a return to roots but also a bold statement of their present and future in electronic music. Ultimately, it’s a must-listen for techno enthusiasts seeking a perfect blend of the classic and the contemporary.
