MISTRESS 17 by Z.I.P.P.O
"Mistress 17" sees Z.I.P.P.O at his most introspective, crafting a release that feels both timeless and startlingly relevant. The 12-inch opens with "We Need One Another (Original)," setting an immersive tone with a pulsating electro rhythm and deeply ethereal vocals. Underground poet Celina Marie's spoken words enhance the track's emotional depth, offering a profound narrative on hope and resilience.
The second track, "Last Hope," delivers a contemplative sci-fi-inspired groove, combining atmospheric pads and meditative SH-101 keys, balancing contrasts—weight and lift, intimacy and expansiveness.
The B-side showcases the artistic synergy between Z.I.P.P.O and Celina Marie by offering three distinct versions of "We Need One Another," which marks their second collaboration following last year's work for Setaoc Mass' SK_X series. While the "Instrumental" version strips back the vocals to reveal the interplay of the sonic layers, the "Bassapella" emphasizes the original's low-end, uncovering a hypnotic, stripped-down club weapon. The "Acapella" version lays bare Celina Marie's poetry and space for her hauntingly resonant words.
