"The long-awaited release from Big Hands is finally here - welcome to another journey down the 130BPM rabbit hole. Andrea Bonalumi AKA ‘Big Hands’ is a London based artist born in Monza, Italy and his palette of sounds coupled with the formula he uses to create his music is unlike any artist we have come across before. The tracks from this EP are inspired by early Acid and 90’s House with a twist. The result of chopping up vocals/breaks/percussions and the stylings of Big ‘Brain’ Hands has led to the creation of the ‘Smart Casual’ EP on Simply Deep.

The release starts with an experimental intro track ‘Karma’ that warms you up to the flavors that will follow - lingering Piano patterns ease up to the entrance of a panning bassy stab shortly followed by glitchy high-end notes layered on top. ‘Peruvian Fever’ starts off with swung percussion leading up to the first bass note, after a few seconds of the main groove hitting its clear this is already going to be a banger. The addictive percussions are soon met with processed Amen breaks near the end of bars to keep things interesting. Around the 2-minute mark cleverly sampled vocals place the cherry on top for this masterpiece of a track.

‘Drone Dens’ takes a darker and more progressive route. The first half of the song is filled with eerie melodies setting the mood and building up tension to the main groove which drops after a long suspenseful percussion delay. The main section is a hypnotic array of drums and high octave bass patterns, leaving you wishing Drone Dens was just that tiny bit longer, a lot of repeat value. The EP rounds off with a killer remix of Peruvian Fever by Silent Motion bossman OldGold. He takes a stripped back approach to the remix bringing the sub-bass to the front of the project. He subtly takes small elements of the percussion to make his own rhythm to compliment the large bass stabs. The second half of the remix brings in ringing cowbells giving it a tribal feel before stripping the elements once back again for the outro.

After many years in the making we are pleased to present this masterful work of art from Big Hands. All the tracks featured minus the remix were unreleased gems from 2017, they all contain all the exact aesthetic we represent on Simply Deep and are glad to give them a home. This will be an exclusive release to Junodownload & Spotify on 16/10/20 with general release two weeks later."
