    Billy Dalessandro - Strombooty Billy Dalessandro - Strombooty
    Billy Dalessandro - Strombooty Thinking "strombooty" might be US urban vernacular tenuously linking an Italian volcano with a rather fine behind, imagine my surprise when I found out that it's actually "the booty that is possessed by those of a certain clan or family heritage . . ." I'm sure there's a connection somewhere, but while I've always been more than a little bit interested in why certain house and techno tunes acquire their names I don't think researching this aspect of the creative process is that rewarding. It's the beats that count, and Billy Dalessandro has turned out some masterful examples on this four track EP.

    "Strombooty" itself is characterised by its energy, rumbling bass and concave percussion. It's a synergy that works on your animal instincts to create a dark, tribal ambience. "Speak to Me" slows the tempo and utilises another uncomplicated groove which, along with strategically-launched synth stabs serve to launch this deceptively languid track into the stratosphere. "El Tapatio" is sonically positioned between the tracks already discussed, employing similar sounds to the first, and having a relaxed feel like the second. It's got a bit of a tranced-out feel when the synths kick in, which, with the jacking vocal snippets serve to make it stand out. Finally, the tracky digital exclusive "Firestar" again uses some nice soaring stabs to embellish its beats which seem to be pulling the listener in two different directions.
