At the intersection of house and deep tech, KlangKuenstler and Jiggler join forces and give a nod to the good ol rave days in their upcoming split EP. Klangkuenstlers ‘Save The Rave’ is a current-day take on a 90s classic sound aesthetic, when electronic keyboards reigned dancefloors. Complete with a brooding bassline and acid tinted flare ups, the resemblance to the rave sound is striking, yet the artist manages to put his own mark on the arrangement, adding plenty of bounce and energy. ‘Impact’ tells the story of a slow paced, gradually unfolding construction. Solemn strings build up tension, joined by eerie loops at its apex, making for an unpredictably stirring breakdown. Klangkuenstlers second offering ‘Exodia’ picks up on the rave segment as well, but the sequence is downplayed and carefully layered with wavy synths and processed percussion. For his double take, Jiggler explores deep techy atmospheres in ‘Stairs’, a powerful, bass-heavy cut with plenty of dancefloor appeal. Carving out a resonant melody, accented with lively vocals, the track strikes a perfect balance between upbeat and dreamy.
