Livio & Roby - DT Revival

  • Share
  • Livio & Roby specialise in big room sounds but also get solid results when they go in more low-key directions. This has never been more obvious than on the Romanian duo's latest 12-inch, DT Revival. Each track is based on a loopy and functional template, but laced with the kind of intricacies that work best with an intimate, attentive dance floor rather than a cavernous main room. All four tracks are breezy. "Anustiu" and the title cut are the most straightforward, with hushed stabs and hints of bright melody. They're anchored to a simple and steady 4/4 beat with no notable variations in energy, making them a trusty option for just about any point of a party, day or night. "Contrast" channels early tech house with glassy synth stabs and a rolling beat. It's the hyperactive bassline on "Plow" that makes DT Revival a worthwhile purchase. Fat, catchy and energetic, it's got the kind of low-end that will likely appeal to selectors wary of the EP's more restrained moments.
