Silvestre - Super Cool – EP

1. Sem Crew (05:30)
2. Grillz (04:40)
3. Front Door (04:22)
4. Love U (04:08)

With Giles Smith and James Priestley’s Secretsundaze label steadily keeping afloat this year with releases from Dominican artist Boundary and a ‘reflip’ from GE-OLOGY, London-based Porteguese artist Silvestre returns to the London house institution with the Super Cool EP. Pushing the sounds here towards an electro, ghetto house framework, drums on Super Cool are heavy, rough and beatdown – with “Front Door” a trippy and melodic highlight. Turning in a raw Chicago-inspired club track is “Grillz”, while “Sem Crew” simmers in dub with renewed touches of acid in its bassline atop a rave-like vocal. “Love U”, another highlight, lifts its inspirations from rap, R&B and reggaeton, with Silvestre adding about the EP: “I wanted to make bangers, my current inspirations have been coming from UK Drill, ghetto house, Randomer and Jimmy Lacoste.”
