Italian born but firmly ensconced in adopted Argentinean homeland, Andrea Cassino is an iconic figure in the underground dance movement with a glowing career that has seen over a century of credits in solo and collaborative guise for Proton Music, Lowbit and Balkan Connection. Making his Meanwhile debut, Andrea Cassino takes “Microclimate” on a typically impressive journey of driving mesmeric bass groove and syncopated percussion with its roots in the Australian duo’s work. Making intelligent use of original components, melodies hypnotise and new production material from the Cassino arsenal drifts across proceedings and into an unencumbered breakdown. Dropping back into the extended groove in the second half after a ‘hands in the air’ white-noise riser, the Italian has created another club floor-filler.
