Review: Berlin-based Haider Masroor made his Aus Music debut with the '10961' EP in 2019. Now he returns to Will Saul and Fink's label with another three-tracker that defies easy genre categorisation. 'Levitate', for instance, starts out epic and proggy but then breaks out into a kind of EBM/Italo/industrial fusion interlude in the middle, while 'Too Close' has echoes of Orb-style ambient house, hardcore, two-step and the kitchen ruddy sink! The standout, though, is 'Why So Blue?', a moody, broody but irresistible order to dance in which delicate, haunting keys and cut-up female vocal snips surf a surging, pulsating bassline to devastating effect.
Review: Berlin-based South Yorkshireman Haider Masroor is Mella Dee's best friend, so it's no surprise to see him popping up on his pal's Warehouse Music imprint following a couple of successful singles on Aus Music. He's naturally brought the goods, too, starting with the bubbly Sheffield bleeps, elongated chords, filthy acid bass, jacking drums and echoing old school vocal samples of 'Bakamono'. 'The Oven Door Broke' sees Masroor wrap squelchy acid lines and sparkling synthesiser lines around a bustling electro beat, while 'U Trippin' is a dreamy, smile-inducing slab of breakbeat hardcore revivalism that comes complete with serious sub-weight and all manner of loved-up vocal samples.
Review: The ascendant Haider Masroor releases his second EP of 2020 on his musical comrade Mella Dee's Warehouse Music imprint. The hotly tipped Sheffield born, Berlin-based producer and DJ follows up promising releases on Aus Music and Breaker Breaker with the track "Bakamono". This one is very ravey with its Reese bassline and fierce breakbeats, while all the same completely euphoric. Sure to get them on the dancefloor with its bass-driven bounce - tip!
Review: Breaker Breaker head honcho Haider has caught the attention of Will Saul with his eclectic talent. Following his breakout EP for his own label, the 10961 EP is his debut for AUS music. Full name Haider Masroor, the German artist compliments the British label as its newly acquired artist. Features dusty minimal house like on "You" reminiscent of past contributions to the label by the likes of Matt Karmil, Motor City deep house influences by the likes of The Three Chairs on the sublime "Yellow Cake" and timeless electro vibe on "Robocop".
