When DNH Records handed back Da Capo’s catalog, containing material he released on the label as an emerging producer circa 2010, it freed him to deliver a compilation of both new and unreleased songs dating back as far as 2008. Return to the Beginning—a title reappropriated from his 2010 EP—is a journey to Da Capo’s early days. With a majority of the collection’s songs being instrumental, it’s his skill as a producer that shines through: The beats are consistently spacious enough to make room for haunting chants (“Sabir”), robust drumming on the Black Motion-assisted “Zone Out,” or the strobing synths of “Indigo.” Return to the Beginning is characterized by a uniformity that points to a producer who not only found his voice but has also sustained it.
