[digital] AFFKT & Jairo Catelo - Been Touched Series 02

Artist(s): AFFKT & Jairo Catelo
Name: Been Touched Series 02
Genre: house, tech-house
Label: Sincopat
Catalog: Sincopat BT 002
No. of tracks: 4
Type: normal

Tracklist:

01. Hemanjai
02. Hemanjai (Negru Remix)
03. Skeletoraff
04. Skeletoraff (Samuel Dan Remix)

Opinion:

AFFKT and Jairo Catelo released a month ago a very interesting house EP, containing 2 tracks and 1 remix for each of them.Hemanjai starts the release with echoed vocals and trumpets that follow from the middle of the track to the end. And if you are not a trumpet lover, Negru welcomes you with a very cool bass-line starting exactly from the middle. Skeletoraff brings an old-school house vibe, while Samuel Dan`s remix has some deep-house influences, just before hitting you with angry vocals and strong percussion. Summing up, a very good EP that deserves to be listened (especially the remix by Negru), so that`s why I let you decide with the following videos:

 Opinion:

 Cecille and Cecille Numbers are one of my favorite labels when it comes to tech-house, releasing work from artists such as Nick Curly, Markus Fix, Sis, Premiesku, Ilario Alicante, Butch... and the list continues. 2010 came with a compilation celebrating 2 years of existence, having 7 tracks and 7 more as a digital download bonus (beats me why they choose to only fill half of the last vinyl side and not stick in another song). Nonetheless this is an excellent work, keeping up with the rhythm and quality of Cecille. I`ve met Nick Curly (who is in charge of the label) at a gig a few months ago and he gave me a superb autograph on the back of the cover (as seen above).
