The much anticipated launch of Hustler Hype has arrived with their first release – Lazzaro’s Shoes EP by Astin and Waveshape. Hustler Hype is the sister label to Hustler Musik, run by D. Napolitano and Astin. This two part EP gives us two slightly different style tracks which makes it a more versatile EP to fit in to a variety of sets.
The first track entitled Lazzaro’s Shoes, gives us a very strong drum kit with the kick, hats and rides all working well with the bassline to provide a nice high energy techno track. Omega Drill is the second track on the release and is certainly a contrast, with a more laid back tech house vibe. The filtered effects used in the track do a very nice job of gradually taking the energy down before the drops bring everything back in with full force. I like this EP the more I listen to it and is a very strong first release for Hustler Hype. This will certainly be getting support at upcoming events and I cannot wait to hear future releases from this label.
