Sintope bosses NTFO return to Bondage-Music to their ‘Esperantza’ EP.
Title cut ‘Esperantza’ sees the duo go to work, fusing rolling, crisp
percussion with rich sub-bass, before ‘Uppercut’ interjects, unveiling a
production packed full of swing, reinforced by robust drum licks,
skipping hats and sweeping synths.
On the flip, the first vinyl
only cut ‘Lux’ reveals a smooth, stripped back effort, with lush, deep
pads floating effortlessly over hazy background textures, whilst the
electro influenced ‘Avoid’ closing things out in fine fashion, as
trickling lead lines flow amongst and intricate organic percussion
patterns across seven minutes.
