SIT* – Sideways LP

Excelent EP, IMHO one of the best for 2015, "Madatory" is my track!

Very solid productions on this one, but Come Around is the outstanding track for me.

Part 2 is coming.

When something is released on Amphia you know you'll be getting the goods, and this first album release on the label does not disappoint. This maybe isn't as "minimal" as we've come to expect from Caia and Cons, but how is that a bad thing? This album is the most straight-ahead dance-orientated release from either of them, but it hasn't lost any of that impeccable sense of production skills they possess, and the album flows flawlessly from beginning to end. They save the best for last with track "Come Around" which continues to evolve and introduce new moods and ideas through its 15-minute duration. It has a certain old-school vibe surrounding it which is countered perfectly with a relevance and intensity that will get modern dancefloors moving and shaking with ease.
I think anyone not "getting" or appreciating this album because it sounds different than their past input is missing the point entirely. If you don't like an album because it was "not what you expected", savor that feeling, don't fight it -- this means you have more learning to do. This means your mind is a little closed off and needs music like this to open it up a little. Caia and Cons aren't satisfied with repeating themselves as no artist should be. This is the natural progression of their efforts culminated in one double LP, and it sounds incredibly fresh and enticing. Much dance music is sloppily put together to impact dancefloors for a very finite amount of time, however, Caia and Cons ensure through their attention to detail that this album will stand the test of time, and work on a dancefloor, or at home with headphones on. There have been a lot of top notch electronic albums released this year, and along with Petre Inpirescu's release on Mule Musiq, this is one of the best of the year without a doubt.

This release is not what I expected from this Label. As an ardent fan of it and the two artist who make up SIT, my expectations were defined by listening to everything they have produced before.
The songs on this release are more in the vein of House music, with a touch of breaks here and there. The Production quality is top, but the music is a different cup of tea.
Again, being a fan of these two artists and this moniker, my hope was for a master class in the sounds and esthetics I have come to love and respect.
If you are a DJ, then this double lp will probably yield some great tools for your set, and it will get the listeners feet moving and faces smiling.
To be fair, every SIT release has shown a different side of their joint production skills, and this release is a slice of a ever developing musical pie.
I will continue to be a fan and await more releases by these two music producers.
