Rave Baby EP by Cinthie

Cinthie has been at the heart of the European underground for many years. The Berlin-based artist heads up her cultured 803 Crystal Grooves label and the well-respected Elevate.Berlin record store. She has a vast vinyl collection and a deep understanding of housemusic, making her a favorite worldwide. She has long been a key part of the Aus family and has recently branched out into playing live, all while continuing to serve up timeless sounds that range from rave-ready to deep and driving.

This EP is the third in a run of four releases from different artists to mark the 200th outing of Will Saul's influential Aus Music. It is an era-defining label that has platformed some of the scene's brightest stars way before they broke out. Since launching in 2006, the label has remained dedicated to releasing club-ready music with a cultured edge, from deep and melodic house to the earliest bass-driven post-dubstep fusions.

The brilliant "Rave Baby" is full-throttle house music in signature Cinthie style. The well-swung kicks are full of warmth as a nimble bassline phrase gets hands in the air, and crisp percussion cuts up the beats. It's peak-time fun that completely takes off with the raved-up piano stabs and a steamy female vocal. "I Warned You Baby" sinks into a deeper groove that harks back to 90s New Jersey with diffuse chords, Nu Groove-style vocals, and punchy drum programming full of good vibes. Closer "What's Poppin'" is passionate house music with depth and drive. Raw percussion, turbo-charged retro stabs, and another standout bassline make it a high-class weapon.
