Renaissance presents a production duo enjoying their own renaissance.
Luke Brancaccio and Gai Barone need a little introduction. In recent years, singularly or together, they’ve developed an enviable discography that includes Crosstown, Bedrock, Mobilee, Selador, Circus, Lost & Found, and more… It’s fair to say they’ve been both prolific and successful.
Now they add Renaissance to the CV with a stunning 3-track EP that pinpoints the skill behind their unique partnership. “Gai and I have been working together for about two years, but it may surprise people to learn we have never actually met in person” Luke explains, “which is weird because I’ve never been able to work remotely with anyone before, but there’s something about our relationship that just clicks; the process is quite simple, normally one of us comes up with an idea and then we kick it back and forth till we both agree we have something special.”
And with the Brokheimer EP, they do indeed have something special. Whilst the title track of the same name and Little Pictures are mesmeric examples of melodic techno, Borders expands things into the realm of electronica, as Gai confirms, “The idea of the EP was to make 3 tracks that were different from each other yet could be played in the same set.”
But the goodness does not end there! To inject further appeal the guys invited current indie king Renato Cohen to remix Brokheimer, which he does with trademark gusto. “It’s a bomb mix that provides exactly what we were looking for – a very creative, yet different take on the track. We couldn’t be happier with it!”, says Luke.
