"Markantonio’s Analytic Trail label has been instrumental in creating what is now recognized as the Neapolitan techno sound. The label’s inventive approach has seen them feature the likes of Rino Cerrone, Valentino Kanzyani, The Advent, Davide Squillace and Paco Osuna. Originally released on Analytic Trail at the end of 2007, C’est La Vie (and b-side Oasi) marked the debut for Joseph Capriati. Since this time Capriati has gone on to become one of the hottest names in techno with releases on the scene’s labels including Drumcode, CLR and Sci + Tec. To celebrate the success of this favourite son of Naples, Analytic Trail are releasing a staggering set of remixes of two tracks from Joseph’s debut release on the label from the best names in techno – Umek, Ramon Tapia, Xpansul, Ortin Cam, Hauswerks & Gaz James and Abnormal Boyz The mighty Umek gets first crack at C’est La Vie; turning in a typically straight-to-the-point remake, dropping the distinctive percussive hook over a jack-hammer groove. Ortin Cam (Drumcode) adopts a more minimal approach with firing snare rolls and a distorted, buzzing cut-up loop of the original hook. Rounding out the first part of this package is Xpansul (Ovum / Soma) with a dramatic, string-laden take that bounces along on a tough but funky bassline. First up to rework Oasi is Great Stuff’s Ramon Tapia. Without doubt one of the names of 2009, Tapia delivers a typically dramatic mix where sparse trial rhythms meet pulsing, off-kilter melodies. Hot new production duo Hauswerks & Gaz James keep up the pace with a more funked up version centered around a wicked rolling groove while home-grown Neapolitan talent Abnormal Boyz offer up a stomping rework that twists things out with deep undulating bass.
