Review: Eusebeia and Artificial Red Join up with "Mindgame 4," a three-track EP on MindGames, a sub-label of Samurai. The opener, "Sweet Memories," sets the tone perfectly. Lush pads wash over a downtempo groove, while Eusebeia's vocals shimmer with a touch of longing. Then it is "peace of Mind," offering a sense of resolution, with a gentle melody and ethereal vocals. However, a subtle tension lingers, suggesting that inner peace may be a fleeting state. Rounding out the EP is "Cloud Nine," a blissful soundscape that brings the release to a peaceful close. Ethereal vocals and shimmering synths create a sense of weightlessness, leaving the listener feeling uplifted and serene.
Review: All gully on the Western front; Dead Man's Chest's label begin to present a brand new Blunted Breaks compendium. The last one, released 2018, did serious damage with the likes of Coco Bryce, Thugwidow, Earl Grey and Tim Reaper in the blend and there's no doubt this collection will do the same as friends old and new collide to celebrate the broken beat in all its blunted and deeper forms. Response & Pliskin set the scene with big breezy pads wrapped up over classic rave breaks. Serious 6am business. They're followed by The Dreamers affiliate D'TCH with the sublime halftime exploration 'Re-reparation' before Coco Bryce sends every single hair on your body on end with his twist Double O's 'God Is A Woman'. Last but not least Eusebeia closes the deal with a nod to the old Moving Shadow days. Keep it blunted.
Review: Earthtrax is a straight up wicked project, there is no doubting that. This latest project however sees them push the boat out even further as they bring in Birthmark and Eusebeia across 8 tracks of future garage and UK bass, making for quite the compilation. We firstly hear the groovy garage twists of 'Hedron', the minimalist horn stabs of 'Polygon' and the spacey drum rolls of 'Like Her' from Birthmark. This is then followed by Eusabia's more moody production styles on 'Demystify', the rolling drums of 'Truthseekers' and the stunning soundscaping of 'Balance The Elements'. We also hear a wicked skippy flip of 'Like Her' from Eusebeia, along with a very techy re-think of 'Truthseekers' from Birthmark. Very tidy stuff indeed!
