Emerging Italian producer ITAM unveils an undeniably captivating offering with “Desire.” Those familiar with the dance music scene in Northern Italy may already know ITAM as an avid clubber and lover of all things electronic. But with single “Desire,” the young artist from Ferrara makes his long-awaited release in the production world – and what an impressive new offering it is!
In the course of the record’s two minutes of lush, ITAM does not hesitate to show his obvious love and years of practice culminate in perfection. “Desire” has him create complex harmonies and sexual synth work into a beat that commands the head bopping as soon as one listens to it. ITAM combines deep house elements of warmth into techno’s contemporary forward momentum, balancing pop sensibilities and club culture.
What is most noticeable is the mood and feel of the artist. From the introduction to fade, “Desire” has the listener entranced in its hypnotic beats, making it one that would be worthy of a rewind. ITAM layers one upon another on the pristine mix with arrangement to the thrilling yet soothing melody. It is therefore not shocking that he has dedicated years practicing this kind of audio charm.
That such a fully formed and finely crafted new release should come from one still in his early days bodes tremendously well for ITAM’s future. Italian committed clubbers may have probably heard rumors already, but “Desire” is his most blatant proclamation to the world. It does so with ease to explain why he will keep on rising as an artist to look out for across progressive scenes globally. ITAM may have been passionately clued-in for years, but “Desire” is the first time he is seen confidently strutting into the light. It is his dance floor and he can do whatever he wants with it.
