Massimiliano Pagliara & Jules Etienne
Egyptian Nipples / Back But Half
Nice release!! a special collaboration between Massimiliano Pagliara and Jules Etienne that goes by the name of Egyptian Nipples. The duo has extensively worked together on various projects and as very good friends it was just a matter of time before Egyptian Nipples was born.
The songs on “Back but Half EP” were originally composed and produced by Jules Etienne. Massi then proposed Jules to re-work them and add his additional production. The result is an ode to 80s inspired song writing, analogue grittiness and heavenly melodies.
The niddle starts its ride with the piece from which the EP takes its name ''Back but Half'' - a NYC disco inspired space disco monster with whispery vocals and spacey synth lines. Followed by the
darker ''Bottle of Mine'', taking almost an italo style backing to modern waters, the wall of synthesized sound is just impressive and a perfect match to the dark vocals.
Now flip the vinyl... ''L.A. Melody'' takes a stroll in the proto house camp with syncopated guitar and keys laying a lovely mood of synthesized dance floor mayhem. Next is ''Weekend Lover'' - a
heavy piece of analogue drums and bass, with an almost eerie feeling, a perfect late night, early morning dark room feel to it. And there is hardly a finer way to end an EP than the uplifting mid tempo house chugger that goes by the name of ''Monaco''.
