The Space Between Us is honoured to announce its next offering - Corner Taken Quickly - the debut EP from Naarm-based artist Al Dente. The intriguing producer, who comprises ⅓ of the acclaimed Neurocrank family and ½ of Nebula, shares what is quite possibly the most positive thing to come out of Melbourne’s extended lockdowns - the Corner Taken Quickly EP. Propelled first and foremost by a love of soccer, Al Dente’s EP title pays homage to one of the most iconic moments in Liverpool’s history – fans will know. Spurred on by other influential factors, from film to TV shows – and of course, much musical digging during months spent at home, the EP is sonically metamorphosed into this warpy, wonky 5-tracker which doesn’t take itself too seriously. With a harmoniously energetic remix from none other than Montreal’s queen of turbo, Maara, the EP is primed for the most quirky and adventurous of dance floors – and is as bendy as Trent Alexander Arnold takes his corners.

Setting the overarching atmosphere, Little Jerry is a dark cauldron of bubbling, fizzing electronics. Foreboding pads swell and deflate amongst skittish percussion to cook up the most off-kilter opener – almost as off-kilter as the Seinfeld episode for which is this track’s namesake – if you know, you know. The Translator turns up the temperature – an assembly of oddball percussive elements which skip alongside the warpy bassline and eerie echoes of Scarlett Johansson’s iconic vocal. Tension builds amidst sinister pads before making space for high hats and the kick – a wobbly intro which steadies itself all the way to the dance floor.

Stepping wholeheartedly into emphatic club territory, Seven maintains the air of spookiness embodied throughout the release with its snarling bassline which rolls against familiar warps and vocal splinters. Next, Al Dente collaborates with fellow Naarm-based producer Explicit Joy on Sonic Dialogue; a bouncy, stripped back, continuation of quirky, club-oriented moods.

Last but not least, Maara takes the power output dial on The Translator and turns it up to the maximum; generating her Transductor Mix – an electrifying reimagination of the original. An explosive end to Al Dente’s EP – in true Maara style.
