Spring has sprung, and with it comes a split EP from Jos & Eli, and Julian Wassermann & Henri Bergmann. Coming in hot, hard and assertively is Noded, a peak-time player which channels the powerful energies of Israeli producers Jos & Eli. Drawing on every genre: psy, tech, house and trance, Red South continues on this tip with its throbbing, dark beats: a dance floor weapon which is ready to be released into the world. The EP takes a slightly more hypnotic angle with two collaborative tracks by Henri Bergmann weaving her trademark spacious and otherworldly perspectives with Julian Wassermans well-honed tech house sound, lending a certain cinematic dramaturgy to the third and fourth tracks. Ashes to ashes, dust to Dust, is laden with punchy synths, tempered with emotive vocals that offer lighter relief before dropping back into spine-tingling synths and grimier breaks. Space is in your face with Vesta: psychedelic sonic dreamscapes with soft fluffy edges are juxtaposed with harder, crispier kicks, carrying the track to the next dimension. Keep this EP in your arsenal for dropping full noise bangers onto the dancefloor.
