Berlin-based Italian DJ / producer TRENT returns with 1000 Flashbacks, a retro-facing 4-track EP fit for the chuggy cosmic underground. Known for his vital role in the legendary Cocktail dAmore scene and his deep-digging sets at Oscillator, Trent channels a rich set of influences and potent nostalgia into four fresh cuts: ⚡ Gimme Something opens the record with vocal euphoria and funked-out bassline powered disco.
? Cin Cin is a cheeky toast to Italo-mania, bubbling with percussion seduction.
? Shiva Boom brings tribal acid hypnosis to downtempo spirit-chug.
? Down to Oz closes the EP in a hazy groove topped with anthemic melodic line. *Artwork by Singapore-via-Berlin visual wizard Reza Hasni*
