First up on the 2012 release schedule for the burgeoning, multi-national Cascine imprint is a digital EP from Michigan producer RxGibbs. The title track from that six-song release perfectly encapsulates the cool energy and lush ambiance found on Futures, all of which evokes the expansive dance music of Blondes or The Field, but maybe with a subtle nod to the kinds of retro-futuristic synth-pop and Balearic vibes that Cascine has built its reputation on. Look for the rest of RxGibbs’ solid EP when it drops on Feburary 21.
