Donnacha Costello

Pleite Reissue Donnacha Costello

As Costello continues to Look Long, the grooves continue to flow. LNG3 sees the reissue of the deep house classic PLEITE which originally appeared on Trapez in 2003. Recorded in Dublin in 2002, this version has been mastered at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin in 2009. The results are stunning and serve as a welcome reminder of Costello’s deep roots. PLEITE (Costello Dub) in particular could teach some of today’s hyperactive producers a thing or two about setting up a solid groove and letting it sit. The timing of this reissue could not be more perfect with regard to the current musical zeitgeist. The title, a German colloquialism for broke or indeed bankrupt which was an in-joke at the time of the original release, takes on a new significance in the context of global economic recession.
