We kick things off on the A-side with Rowlanz. The track is called
Colours which transcends into the music itself. From the get go there is
a perfect arrangement of layers. The tribal and progressive nature of
the synths, accompanied with bird like pads takes us deep through the
Jungle into an unknown land. The breakdown is truly hypnotic. You get
completely lost turning off from the world around you. It’s safe to say
this is some of our favourite work from Rowlanz to date as the artist
stays true to form.
Bucharest’s Direkt’s follows on the A2. This
is a track that instantly grabs your attention with a definitive
thunderous kick coupled with a dubby raw bassline. Dark and mysterious
pads and harmonic stabs lend to the track brilliantly. Layer and upon
layer unfolds. It is the sort of track which will be completely
transformed when played on a big system taking on a new entity and
meaning.
On the B-side Sublee, an artist who needs very little
introduction. With recent releases on Rowle, RE.FACE and Baumbaum Label.
His ability to experiment and play with sounds is really something to
behold. Simpa has got a bomb written all over it from the off as the
track explodes with deep driving kicks and a hypnotic grooving bassline.
The track twists and turns as new elements are introduced with the
skipping hats and percussion to keep the energy.
Last but
certainly not least Vern steps up the plate bringing a more relaxed feel
to the close of the EP. Pads and synths paint a picture of wondrous
temples of ancient lands. Skipping hats coupled with a mellow continuous
bassline keeps you moving. Intricate wind pipes, chimes and strings can
be heard throughout to create moments of peace. It’s very easy to get
lost in absolute contentment.
