By my count, Steyoyoke is warming everyone’s hearts the last twelve months or more, and the label’s reputation is just building and building to higher heights. Awesomely, fascinatingly consistent, the imprint releases Animal Picnic’s newest – “Sinopsia EP” which contains four original tracks that show off the duos production skills aplenty.
Being bosses of Deep House and Techno alike, these tracks are restrained and assured pieces of work that will work beautifully through the speakers. The first – “Lumina” featuring Alexandra Pride is one of the finest in this genre, it moves smoothly across the seven minute length draping melodics, echoed vocals and warm ominous bass along with a rusty acid squelch, all fitting together like your favorite glove.
Next up – “Kraftika” sends out subtle thuds of bass kicks and quirky curly tones all over the place. This one’s surging interiors leave you entranced. There’s a heady mixture of square wave stabs of deep bass and altered grooves that sit yet don’t. Full throttles of acidic atmospherics swirl around to a nicety.
Hitting play on – “Vandala” is delightful, why? Cause it’s a mover, plain and simple. The ready crunch of the rhythm spurs you on and the descending low bass is slung outward in to infinity and delivers that unexpected knockout punch. The focus puller and forbidden apple that beckons at you to bite in to a slice of musical heaven. This is yearning, fabulous slowed down Techno at its best, swirling you in a vortex of smoky belch and swaying like no one’s watching fare.
The last one – “Ethorica”, features a funky get a move on kinda bass line, juxtaposed with softer edges of melody play, and cheeky chord that ramps up the intensity of the track. One cannot miss the spooky sound textures within, that growls and warbles to reverberating percussions, transposing dancers to dark, grimy corners of club land.
All in all, the entire EP, is deceptively packaged and only when one plays it out does one realize how resonant and diverse sounding the soundscapes are, and to finish it up, Animal Picnic should rejoice, cause they have a true winner!!
