Next up on Lifestyle we continue the Generations series in full force! We’ve been busy searching out strictly dancefloor music with that ‘special something’. Kumarachi has been sending us heat for a bit and we are super pleased to have him as the next producer representing our new imprint. Teaming up with our very own MC Haribo, this release will leave ya ears ringing and ya head spinning.
Straight in with ‘Deep', a big, fathomless roller. Drawing you in with sweeping pads, backed up by a thumping kick and poppy snare pushing the rhythm forward. MC Haribo comes in to build the track to it’s ultimatum, which delivers in earnest. With jungle overtones and deep, dark moody synth stabs, you can tell this truly has that extra something. Full banger.
‘Microdot’ is the next trip Kumarachi is taking us on, with moving ambience that makes you feel like you’re banging through a forest at high velocity, delayed effects bounce around a vocal build up. Then you’re taken to an entirely new dimension as you’re thrown in the deep end, led by splashy high end and wide, chugging bass. Some expert sound design inside! This one is sure to cause damage in the dance.
Next, we’re whipped into ‘Searching’, with an equally as spacey intro as the last. Bitcrushed effects and synth stabs build you up to the drop, which switches into sweeping and gritty bass riffs as powerful drums push the groove onward. This one’s for the heads.
As we close in to the end of the EP we’re given ‘Closer.’ Something to release the tension, we’re drawn in by a melancholic pad driven by a shuffling drum beat. Breaking into rolling beats and tumbling bass that brings you into a state of alert; you’re trespassing! The alarm rings out for the second drop, something dark here.
We’ve had great fun working with these guys, and couldn't be more pleased with this release. Generations is a bold step in a new direction for us, and we are having a wicked time expanding the Lifestyle sound. There’s a lot more in store, but this’ll be in stores sooner, get it while it's hot!
