Alessandro Stoppa, Lonely
Endorphine
Alessandro Stoppa returns on Finish Team Records with Endorphine, a deep and evocative two-track release that pushes his signature sound into darker, more immersive territory. Staying true to the minimal-tech and tech-house sensibility that characterized his previous works, Stoppa crafts a pulsating rhythm layered with hypnotic synth lines and subtle melodic textures. The track unfolds gradually, balancing intricate percussion with atmospheric pads, creating a sense of slow-burning tension and euphoria. It’s a refined evolution of the sound he explored in earlier releases like Feeling Fancy and Left Shoes, but with a more cinematic and introspective edge.
Adding a distinct flavor to the EP, Lonely delivers a reinterpretation that strips the original down to its core and rebuilds it into a moody, late-night weapon. With sharp minimal grooves, distant echoes, and deep bass stabs, the remix heightens the emotional impact while maintaining a driving, club-ready pulse. The interplay between light and shadow in the arrangement gives it a haunting quality—perfect for introspective moments on the dancefloor or tension-building transitions in a DJ set.
Endorphine captures both the meditative and the kinetic sides of the dancefloor experience, making it a compelling addition to Finish Team’s forward-thinking catalogue.
