Definitely well produced, high quality stuff. Hard to rate, as this seems to be more of a retrospective collection of tracks from very different styles a than an actual release.
After the quite awful intro -that unfortunately might prevent 9 of 10 people from listening more than first 15 seconds- the first track turns out to be quite acceptable. It might be even great if its very catchy progressive theme would evolve stronger and more consequently instead of just drifting apart.
Wirklich sehr gute und perfekt produzierte Minimal House EP mit einem gewissen, unaufdringlichen Disco-Touch. Besonders den zweiten Track würde ich bedenkenlos auflegen.
Considering that it was more or less a one-shot-experiment, you're excused for publishing a single track as this one is worth a release. I whish you had kept it as minimal but powerful as it is during the first part and then proceeded more seamlessly to the third. The dissonant counterpoint of the middle part costs a lot of tension that might have given the complete track a denser tension line.
Pretty good, state-of-the-art deep house. The high-pitched rhodes in "arrandazzatava" seem a little irritating to me, but that's a matter of taste. Very good production!
Even if you consider that "the art" has been in this state of jungle for 15 years now. But that's the general dilemma of this decade's music. The nineteen-nineties had it all, but before you could look twice a style had vanished and and just another brand new thing had taken it's place. So we're damned to be restaurative (which doesn't have to be the same as "conservative") and fill all the drawers that have been labeled years ago.
Sehr groovige, unkonventionelle EP, die gut ausbalanciert aus vertrauten Acid-Referenzen und eher überraschenden Sounds phatt und raumgreifend in der weiten Ebende zwischen Dark- und Tech-House aufsetzt.
Way more than just Acid. There's quite some "4 on the floor", but sure no claps on the 2s and 4s or 12s and 15s. There's a solid, reduced to the minimum old-skool-psytrance rhythm group powering 303style acid basslines and "classic" low-pass/resonance rides on restless arpeggios, but that still is not all there is. "Battery" and "North Pole" are clearly off-scheme, featuring Electro and Two-Step drum patterns. The sounds might partially sound a little bit antiquated but you could also call them "well probed" - mostly. Some indeed smell funny ;)
Anyway worth listening and rather a shy step to newer shores by recombining known patterns than radically new, but what has been really new in the last decade's electronic music?
Or just waste of time and bandwith? What did you do the recording with? Monodeck in a trashcan? Even if the music was acceptable (which it isn't) the recording is so lousy that you can barely identify it as such.
Of course you *can* upload just any crap just to piss people off, if this is what you wanted to find out...
Cool french touch! The first track really makes me wish it still was summer. I love the way how the disco loop and the smooth, fat bassline are interacting.
The second one ("Medley"?! I didn't hear that since the days of Easy Listening - and, honestly, I did not exactly miss it ;)) sounds a little overcrompressed to me. Sure still solid work and wuite a funky thing, but the backing track is rather trivial and gives a fucked-up taste to the rest of the mix.
