Contrary to their antipodean name the 'Marsupials' are not Australian or for that matter New Zealanders. They are in fact a collective of Italian producers residing next to the active volcano of Mount Vesuvius in the city of Naples, Italy. The collective have come from unknowns to gardening releases on Sccucci Manucci, Seven Music and of course our imprint Dabit Records. The 'Taxonomy EP' is a 4 track vinyl which packs the deep house goodness that we have come to expect from Dabit Records. Kicking the EP off in style is 'Numbat' a bumping, gospel laden, side compressed groover. Next up is the organ roller 'Bilby', which gives a cheeky nod to Chicago house sound. The 3rd track on the EP entitled 'Opossum' swings harder than a married couple in the Seventies. Last up is 'Quoll'... sounding like some roots NYC House with its filtered sax rift and 'What Did I Do' refrain. The 'Taxonomy EP' is a solid house release and the Marsupial's have a good future ahead of them. The Artwork and the sleeve (for vinyl release) has been hand painted by Sicilian Artist Giuseppe 'Piscal' Scaltrito. Piscal is a contemporary artist who has exhibited in Milan, Florence, Palermo, Venice and Rome. His brief was to paint Australia (in keeping with the theme of the EP), he settled on three colours that for him characterized Australia. The sleeves and the artwork is entitled 'Paesaggio Australiano', and makes this package from Dabit Records a real collectors item.
