Early support from BOg, Lonya, Obiaf & Wallen, Dj Ruby.
For his Lowbit debut, Carsten Halm crafts three inventive tracks, leaving the ear always on the lookout for interesting sounds and combinations.
The EP starts off strong with “Dream”. The DJ and producer, which has frequently seen his work supported by heavyweights such as ARTBAT, Solomun and Eelke Kleijn, uses spoken word vocals and distant voices to hypnotize the listener. This feat achieved, the arrangement is grounded by effective percussions and layers of repeating melodies clearing the wordy mist.
On “Paris”, the uplifting lead synth, central piece of the musical puzzle, steals the show. The Cologne based artist elegantly uses the drive it injects to the song to frequently change the rhythms supporting it as well as casting two grand buildups.
For the closer, “Rave”, the musician, which has in 2020 released on successful labels such as Parquet and Traum, goes all out with an energetic cut perfect for peak time dancefloors. The composition is also sprinkled by touches of unprocessed piano giving a distinctive feel to the tune.
