Following up on the success of Patrice Scott's Orbital Bliss EP, Sistrum moves further into the exploration of modern electronic music with the 2nd installment of the Aphotic Segments series. As always, quality is the key and deep vibes are the order of the day. Track A1 - Chris Mitchell "Brisk City"
Chris Mitchell, known for his releases on Plan B and Vanguard Sound, opens the EP with a driving, minimal builder. Constructed around a bubbly, acid bass line, "Brisk City" grows and tactfully morphs its way into your psyche with lovely layers of synths and rhythms. Let it breathe on a large sound system for maximum effect. Track A2 - Tony Ollivierra "Prophetic Light" Mr. Ollivierra, formerly known as Ibex (of Planet E and Rush Hour fame), is warmly welcomed to Sistrum for this project and "Prophetic Light" lives up to everything we had hoped to hear from him. Crisp, punchy, masterfully produced and DEEP. This cut is filled to the brim with textures and tones that convey a classic yet modern feel -sounding right at home on Sistrum. Tony does it again, people.
Track B1 - Patrice Scott "M.F.D.T" Patrice Scott commandeers the B-side with "M.F.D.T" -and for good reason -this tune needs a full-side vinyl cut to transmit the hefty, growling bass line on display. Listeners are further treated to an intergalactic journey of swirling soundscapes and mind-tingling synth pulsations. Close your eyes and soak this one up -be it in your headphones or on a dark, late night dance floor. More
