VillaHangar drops a deep and sensual release from Knowhat, who shows off his tribal style with the original track “Tribalistars”. Alongside the original there is a stripped back rework from Miky J, and melodic remix by Matt Sawyer. Knowhat aka Giovanni Giampapa is also known for his long established Mr. High alias. Born in Italy, but currently based in London, his tracks can be found on labels ranging from Riva Starr’s Snatch! to Pirupa’s NONSTOP.

The original mix of ‘Tribalistars’ opens with its hypnotic tribal percussion loop before introducing the soothing tones of the basslines. Adding vocal phrases, it has a subtle pad that breathes deep vibes in to the rolling groove.

Matt Sawyer closes out the EP with a remix of ‘Tribalistars’ that focuses on the pads and melodic elements. Making subtle use of the original’s tribal percussion, he adds a new bassline, and works in some extra pads for epic effect. Matt Sawyer also has Italian heritage, and has been a regular on VillaHangar in addition to making releases on other imprints such as Solomun’s Diynamic and Dear Deer.

You can now listen to Matt Sawyer’s remix exclusively on our sister channel Dancefloor Romancer. Enjoy!
