Anthony Naples – “BBT” & “Seven”
Anthony Naples is keeping the electronic fires burning with these two new tracks, and if you're after dance music that's got substance rather than just surface sparkle, you'll want to pay attention. "BBT" sounds like the kind of floor-filler that works because it's got proper melodic hooks woven through that booming beat, which is exactly the sort of thing Cledvibes Radio listeners appreciate. Then there's "Seven" doing its seven-minute thing with kaleidoscopic textures, which suggests Naples isn't content to just repeat a formula. This is the kind of forward-thinking electronic music that reminds us why the underground dance world still matters.
From Stereogum: Electronic producer Anthony Naples come from New York (not Naples) and makes tastefully bangin' dance tracks. His album Scanners came out last year, and now he's got two more jams on a new single. I don't know what the title of "BBT" stands for, but it's got a booming house beat and a whole lot of mini-hooks. "Seven" lasts for exactly seven minutes and gets kaleidoscopic with it. Hear both tracks …
