The Vivus family ends 2018 in style with its fifth instalment in the
vinyl-only series VRV. This release brings back some familiar faces in
label founder Daniel Broesecke and an old friend in Silat Beksi.
These
two close friends who share their passion for music are fresh off their
release on Curtea Veche back in September but they bring some raw
energy on this one, resulting in timeless and hypnotic music from two
creative young artists.
The first track, Mistral, starts off as
strong as you would expect from its name, deriving from the cold
northwesterly wind that blows from the south of France to the northern
Mediterranean. The heavy bassline floats just above the surface as a
cool breeze of atmospheric sounds make their way across.
Next up, on
the B side, we have Get Some More, with a calmer approach but powerful
nonetheless. An unexpected vocal greets us at the beginning only to make
way for a steady flow of uninterrupted intertwined noises that go hand
in hand with the firm bass line just underneath.
