"With no compromise to Design's tight dance flow, LeRosa (aka Leopoldo Rosa) puts his arranging and sound design artistry on full display in all four tracks on this killer deep EP. The A-side's urgent opener 'Babylon' slams furiously with snares leading the charge and jazzy piano motifs scurrying like mice over its pummeling house pulse; listen closely and you'll even glimpse vocal snippets adding a jungle chant along the sidelines. 'Cracked & Ready' catches its breath after the EP's intense beginning before venturing out on its own scenic tour with a hammering reggae bass line and aggressive funk strut the chaperones. The flip's jacking title cut percolates with an intricate weave of acidic synth lines, clattering rimshots, handclaps, and disco hi-hats, before 'Deception' nicely caps the set with a laid-back, summery fusion of soul-jazz and house sparked by trumpet and bright synth flourishes. Though he picked up his first synthesizer only seven years ago, the Dublin-based Italian producer clearly displays in his work an encompassing and deep familiarity with multiple genres and periods. Lerosa is definitely a man to watch out for in the future as clearly also demonstrated on his recent EP on UK's Real Soon imprint and other strong releases."

"LeRosa is Dublin-based Italian producer Leopoldo Rosa. The title track 'Ruski' combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. On the flip, 'Russell' and 'Tempio' are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and Rhodes-like chords. Leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. His debut LeRosa release was the Maike EP on Dublin's D1 Recordings in 2005."
