Valerio Vaudano joins the roster of Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves sub-label Collective
Cuts with his ‘Lose My Mind’ EP.
Valerio Vaudano ‘: ’I'm a fan of Cinthie and feel honoured to release these tracks on 803
Crystal Grooves! This is the kind of sound I mostly love to play and produce at this time:
house sound that blend energy, groove and 90s nostalgic melodies with Detroit, Chicago
and Italo flavours. this new EP represents me best and explains better than words. The
entire EP was produced using a 90s sampler without using a computer, I'm very proud of
the result! I hope you enjoy it!’’
Title-cut ‘Lose My Mind’ leads, laying down crisp saturated drums, crunchy stab
sequences, choppy vocal hooks and bright strings all dynamically evolving throughout for
ultimate dance floor impact. ‘Sunday Remedy’ follows with bumpy breaks, a weighty kick
and amalgamation of vocal samples in combination with gritty bass stabs and classic
piano chords to perfectly encapsulate the essence of house.
Opening the flip-side is ‘Down The Street’, diving deeper with airy chords, breathy vocal
chants and bouncy bass stabs intertwined with a more raw, reduced rhythm section. The
aptly titled ‘Smooth As Butter’ then rounds out the release with a nod to the Detroit House
sound, fusing shimmering keys with jazzy drums, twinkling chime melodies and lowpitched
vocals across its near five minute duration.
