Anthony Naples | El Portal EP

 [Cover Art for 'El Portal']

Anthony Naples made quite a name for himself in 2012 with a multitude of releases: ‘Mad Disrespect’ and ‘Moscato‘ on Mister Saturday Night, one release on Opal Tapes‘ ‘Cold Winter‘ compilation, and finally a B-side remix for Four Tet‘s ‘128 Harps‘.

His 12″,  ’El Portal,‘ off of Will Bankhead‘s aesthetically cunning label, The Trilogy Tapes, is his latest venture.

Naples’ sticks to his signature dark blend of progressive house and techno in ‘El Portal,’ though with the chord progression in “Busy Signals,” he shows off a more melodic side that I hope will be taken further advantage of in the future.

This is my personal favourite from the 4 track EP.

In terms of his entire body of work, the B-Side from his most recent Mister Saturday Night‘s release, ‘Moscato,’ is surely one of his finest peices:

Pick up the 12″ EP at The Trilogy Tapes.
