Description
Pintai began its initial forays into events as a small get-together in Amsterdam, built
around friends, friends of friends, coffee, food and records. Nowadays, Pintai has been
gently growing into a community of music lovers and begun to take form as a strong
purveyor of deep and dynamic dance floor driven sounds out of the Dutch capital.
Leading the release is Gråzon’s ‘Dealing Is Healing’, since his debut on Molly’s RDV imprint
back in 2018 Gråzon has been slowly shaping his music into its now melodious, delicate
style, this new track ‘Dealing Is Healing’ is exemplary of this, fusing together ethereal
textures with acid bass tones and a reduced rhythm section. Zurich’s Pango follows with
‘Freo’, following a sting in the UK his sound became very much shaped by Bristol and
London and this emanates out of this near eight minute composition fuelled by crisp
drums, bouncy subs, fluttering dub chords and dreamy atmospherics.
Pintai co-founder, DJ, producer and live act Hame then opens the B-side next with ‘I Long’,
following on from his debut EP on Lola Haro’s Small Steps and EP’s for French imprint
Noire & Blanche, Hame offers up more of his emotion fuelled style, employing intricately
intertwined leads, choppy bass notes and swinging drums. Tren then concludes the EP
with ‘I Missed Having You In My Life’, perfectly rounding things out via hazy saturated pads,
dreamy spoken word and shuffled off-kilter drums.
