Just six months after the release of their stellar ‘Romantic Thrills’ LP and its two vinyl remix packages, Niconé & Sascha Braemer are back with a banger. For ‘And I just’ they enlist good friend Dan Caster as well as vocalist A.L.E.C. to dazzling results: a deep, moody bass groover whose synth motif climbs and climbs until it finally explodes into beautifully arranged vocal deep house territory. On the A2, the duo is taking you ‘For a Ride’ of guitar loops, crunchy claps, lush synths and heavy bass-lines that revolve around a deliciously ambiguous vocal. Dale gives the boys a hand for title-track ‘Broken Heart’ on the flip. If heartache always sounds this incredibly satisfying, we hope the triplets’ vascular organs keep on breaking. Finally, ‘Lonely’ closes the EP on an epic, uplifting note by wrapping the listener in a blanked of bass. Welcome back!
