Our second set of releases are upon us. Following on from last
months musical excellence we are unleashing another 2 EP’s firmly
aimed at dance floor destruction. Enjoy!
LIGHT – Daniel Kyo Esferas EP
http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?
act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=34847
With appearances on the marvellous German imprint Plastic City,
Daniel Kyo has gone on to find favour with the likes of Laurent
Garnier, Kevin Yost, The Timewriter and Scope with his deep deep
house flavours. DJing alongside the likes of Jimpster, Milton Jackson
and Italoboyz, he is fast making a name for himself amongst the
deep elite.
Thuddy kicks and throbbing bass set the tone for Esferas – you know
you’re in for a deep ride from the start. Gentle conga rhythms lap at
your ears while muted tones hum and whistle. Monotone synths
slowly rise out of the track, gathering intensity with some big builds –
but never becoming too overwhelming. It’s a real teaser of a track
with an undertone of deep Detroit techno.
Unfit is more housey and soulful by comparison, with a slow-burning
groove filled out with warm bass, delicate little synth patterns and a
classically-styled vocal snippet. The builds lay on emotive
atmospherics and once again tease and tantalise, leading us towards
some subtle, smokey, hazy pad sounds that briefly give the track a
melancholic twinge.
DARK – Alex Caytas & Aleks Patz – The Sun Turned Blue EP
US/html/content/release/detail/173943/the_sun_turned_blue
This Swedish duo make up two-thirds of production outfit Sour
Grapes, whose tracks have received support from luminaries such as
Eric Prydz, Dave Spoon, Chris Lake, Laidback Luke, Joachim Garraud
and Tocadisco. Here we see them in a techier mood altogether.
Alex & Aleks turn in a fine slice of hard-grooving tuneful minimal tech
here, all stuttering percussion and wiggling bass at first. Beautiful,
fragile melodies that evoke the likes of Gui Boratto slowly work their
way into the track, accompanied by lush strings, giving it a mystical,
spine-tingling edge that works beautifully with the dainty groove.
On the remix front, we’re treated to a stripped-back, deeply dubby
excursion from Tony Gomez, a punishing, dark mini-tech throbber
from Gun For Hire, and a grunting, heads-down slice of dark room
tech house from the legendary Kevin Over – making this a package
with plenty to choose from.
