Melodicity and punch are the two main accents of Niko Schwind’s ‘Mr. Plastik’ EP.
‘Over the Trees’ unfolds with a floating groove, based around a thumping bassline with powerful percussion. Ultimately, Lil Magdalene’s delicate and ear-catching vocals make an appearance, balancing the grit of the instrumental with lush lyrics and building an entirely new dimension. Co-opted for the remix is label head Oliver Koletzki, who engages in a complete rework of the melody. Equally playful, but in turn minimalist and dramatic, a relentless synth groove directs the focus to the danceable elements. Uone joins Schwind on production duties for ‘Mr. Plastik’, a minimalist tribal groove with heavily processed vocals and distorted synths. One for the body, not the mind, which also comes in the form of German Brigante’s Sunday Morning remix. The vocal hook stays centered with added winding synths and eerie sound bites , making for a perfectly spacious Sunday Morning groove.
