Italian producer Treasure Island makes a strong statement with his latest release, Torbido EP, out now via Melomana Records. Featuring three original tracks and two remixes, the EP explores the boundaries of minimal, trance, and dark electronic music, creating a deeply immersive listening experience for club-goers and electronic enthusiasts alike.
Original Tracks: A Cosmic Exploration
The title track, “Torbido”, opens the EP with hypnotic precision. Its layered textures and rolling basslines pull listeners into a trance-like state, making it a perfect opener for sets that demand gradual intensity. The track’s cosmic feel is enriched by subtle melodic flourishes and an evolving structure that rewards repeat listens.
“Nocturnal Samba” follows with a dynamic rhythm that combines tribal percussive elements with a modern trance aesthetic. The driving beat and pulsating energy make it a standout track that transitions seamlessly between intimate club moments and peak-time performances.
Closing the originals is “LSD”, a darker, introspective piece. Its brooding basslines and atmospheric pads craft a meditative space, balancing tension and release with masterful control. The track feels equally at home on the dancefloor or as a soundtrack for solitary introspection.
Remixes: Expanding the Palette
The remixes elevate Torbido EP to another level. Panka Panka reinvents Nocturnal Samba with an acid-infused edge, layering sharp 303 lines over its tribal framework to create an energetic, peak-time anthem. Meanwhile, Tkuz takes on LSD, adding a hypnotic groove and raw, pulsating basslines that intensify the track’s impact. Tkuz’s reinterpretation is an ideal choice for late-night explorations on the dancefloor.
