Dabit Records is a new deep house, disco tech and club funk label from Pat Callaghan (Max Previti), Nick Morris (aka DJ and producer Nello Nicita), Dave Scott (aka composer David La Maestra), Gilberto DiGioia (a musician, percussionist and composer) and Joe Addicted (aka Giuseppe Acunzo, sound engineer and DJ). The team's mission is to release music 'marked by a constant search for elegant and alternative sounds with a sort of spiritual message addressed to clubs and DJs who are interested in a different feeling within their sets.' The first EP, Chicago Tune, comes from the Dabit Records coowner Kick Douglas moniker whilst Apparel boss Kisk provides a special vinyl-only remix. Opener Sympathy in a Club pairs a warm, fuzzy analogue aesthetics with well-sampled male speech vocals to cuddly house effect. The tempo is lazy and inviting, there percussion spare and loose and the bassline gives the track a gentle sense of propulsion. Next, Klaas (Back to 90s) is a more immediate and kinetic deep house construct with rich dubby undercurrents and interesting melodic hooks. Simple but effective, it's no pastiche of days gone by as the name might suggest, rather a forward looking cut rich with house history. Chicago Vibes is great piece of groove science with real and loose sounding hi hats skating over a rolling kick drum and gentle smattering of toms and congas. Raw for sure, it's a classy house warm up tune that will get floors filling in no time. Finally, digital only cut The Skool bangs that bit harder but retains a sense of charm in its unfamiliar bassline, dramatic sampling and colourful synth lines. An emphatic debut for this new label that suggests great things are ahead.
