A contemporary story through sounds: VincentIulian’s Contempo EP.
VincentIulian
stands for what a producer’s work should be all about: critical
listening and innovative action. His production is focused on shaping a
deep sound, a mixture of dubby and edgy minimal, crisp yet alive. The
tracks are hard pin down to one genre, shifting between a groovy spread
of sounds, mellow and vibrant, percussions and bass, ones that can match
any time of a party, much like the chapters of a book. On side A, both
tracks are quite playful, with “Fixfue” introducing the storyteller, a
feminine vocal and the song get its power from the wide and warm
bassline. “Sonora” presents itself through ritual-infused percussions.
The track evolves constantly, with a focus on low mid drums and strong
kicks. On side B, “Retras” is the calm-down-mantra of the album, with a
clear sounds but pummeling bass sequences. “S-ude CV ” the melodic soft
finale, has a queer-empowering and meticulous structure, one that slowly
folds the story.
