Signor Andreoni and Alessio Mereu team up yet again for another solid effort as Bunkers! Although they have just formed this year, this Italian superduo has already released three EPs, with their most recent finding itself at the #1 position on Richie Hawtin’s chart for September. Aside from his work in Bunkers, Mereu has appeared on a variety of labels like CMYK, Harthouse and Toys For Boys. Meanwhile, producer and classically trained guitarist Andreoni is known for his releases (both solo and in collaboration with Samim) on TuningSpork. From the swelling tension of “Holding Back” that evokes suppressed love, to the staccato onomatopoeia in “Please Say Whoo”, to the swingy and syncopated soul of “Back to Reality” – it’s clear that Bunkers have mastered the house tradition of tension, buildup and release. The vinyl and download versions of the EP each come with an exclusive fourth track: the melancholy “Coming and Going” and the ragtimey “Highs and Lows”, respectively.

De:Bug Magazin: “Souliger geht es auf TuningSpork weiter. Die Tracks von Bunkers jedenfalls werfen schnippische Housestakkatos durch den Raum und wirbeln mit immer etwas überzogenen Technosequenzen dazwischen. Ein Whirlpool an Sounds, dem manchmal etwas weniger gutgetan hätte, und das auf allen drei Tracks, aber man merkt ihnen förmlich an, dass sie dem Floor keine Sekunde zum ausruhen geben wollen. Und ganau das macht dann auch die Energie dieser Tracks aus.”

Nick Curly (Cecille): “nice one..support!”
