After an excursion through deeply introspective sonic lands, Subtil is
back to their usual club-oriented business, introducing Romanian artist
Leanca for a two-track EP of minimal-leaning yet distinct moods.
The A-Side "Bra Manika" is a straight-to-the-point albeit hypnotizing
dancefloor tune where the groove is king. Its leading hook revolves
around a wonky bassline and a handful of quirky synth stabs, coupled
with a trippy vocal sample that creates the perfect atmosphere for
dancing hypnotism. The B-Side "I Know You", which carries the name of
the EP, explores a much darker and experimental vibe while retaining the
same rolling groove from the flipside of the EP. Synth noises are
replaced by authentic sampled sounds, programmed in detail, giving it an
almost cinematic touch.
