Lebanese DJ/producer Köschk is back with a fresh new four-tracker in the form of his latest offering, 'Speak My Mind EP'. This one follows a string of remixes over the last 12 months as well as superb originals. After several appearances on Bonzai Progressive compilations, he began to deliver top-notch original works which always grab a lot of attention.
'Tether' intros with a classic kick drum backed up with intriguing percussions & atmospheric FX. A plucky rolling bassline fades in before the kicks are given a boost, settling the track into a smooth progressive mover. Shimmering synths bring a melodic flavor on the break before we head back into the deeper, moody groove once more. A solid cut that will not disappoint.
'Speak My Mind' is up next, delivering a sharper slice thanks to punchy kicks & defined FX. Surreal sounds float around the background, adding a deeper layer, while a rippling bass sits subtly on the low end. Sporadic percussions dish out a cool rhythm before brighter, melodic elements come through. On the break, a striking, gritty & organic synth hits us square in the face, contrasting with the softer notes. Top-notch stuff for the late sessions.
'Funktion' sets us on a much deeper course. On the intro, we find a muted kick drum & earthy atmosphere that lulls us in. A rolling bassline takes control, becoming the main feature with its stand out signature. The track combines various strange, eerie sounds into a surreal, otherworldly construction, topped off with a strong progressive groove. Very nice indeed, not to be missed.
'Spacewalk' does as the title suggests, taking us for a trek into the outer atmosphere. A steady building groove made up of strong basses & flowing rhythms get us there, in-tact & ready for the climax. This comes in the form of beautifully crafted arp sequences that rise & fall, releasing energy into the mix. An absolute must for the more energetic sets.
