The EP’s title track, ‘Extreme World,’ kicks things off with a punch. Charlie’s underground roots shine through from the start with gritty, analogue textures and a driving beat that instantly grabs your attention. It’s a stripped-back track full of life, balancing punchy rhythms with warm, melodic undertones. There’s a hypnotic quality to how the elements come together, creating a groove as engaging as it is understated—perfect for late-night sets or more profound moments on the dancefloor.
Next up is Leon’s remix of ‘Extreme World,’ and he wastes no time in turning up the heat. Known for his big, club-ready sound, Leon injects the track with beefed-up drums and eerie, atmospheric synths that add a new dimension to the original. The remix takes on a more energetic, jacking vibe with a heavy low-end that’s guaranteed to get bodies moving. It’s a perfect example of how a remix can breathe new life into a track while keeping the core elements intact.
Rounding off the EP is ‘Pyramid,’ a darker, more experimental cut that fuses breakbeat rhythms with gritty analogue sounds. From the pounding basslines to the classic drum machine grooves, this track is all about creating tension and release. The result is a high-energy, unique end to the EP, showcasing Iapicone’s versatility as a producer. It’s clear this debut on Bamboleo is just the beginning for him.
