After an amazing summer season, both party and release-wise, with Ibiza season just coming to an end, elrow Music starts October with a really cool EP from one of UK’s most promising artists: Sooney. With a strong background in the house, hardcore and jungle scene, this DJ and producer debuts at elrow’s label with the five-tracker ‘Kandi Flip EP’. With three originals by Sooney and two remixes – in the hands of UK’s AJ Christou and Spain’s Ekai – the EP opens with ‘Clap Your Hands (Original Mix)’, a track with a tight percussion, a robotic and deep vocal set and a techno-style progression, although breaking with a housy drop and some really dark FX.
‘How Ya Feelng (Original Mix)’ follows with an even tighter percussion, but a groovier progression and more party-like vocals and general vibe, making this a great banger for peak times in the dancefloor. In this track, you can perfectly hear Sooney’s influences in the broken beats scene, with an amazing breakdown by the end of the track.
Then, we find ‘Kandi Flip (Original Mix)’, and immediately one realizes why it’s the one naming the EP. With a looser percussion, a happier progression and a truly ravy vibe, its sound FX are trippy and extraterrestrial, being the highlight of the EP. The amazing and deep male vocals, as taken from a newscast, are just amazing and will make any dancefloor go mad. Being the most tech-house track by Sooney in this record, ‘Kandi Flip’ will make everyone lose it dancing at any moment on the floor. Then we have two amazing interpretations: the first, by AJ Christou, who takes charge of remixing ‘Clap Your Hands’, results in a speeded-up track, with blurred vocals and a clearer tech-house progression.
Finally, Ekai’s take on ‘How Ya Feelng’ gets a more melodic and danceable treatment, with a clear use of analogic percussion from all the Roland set: 606’s, 707’s, 808’s and 909’s. Completed with amazing sound FX and a techier progression, it’s a track with a life of its own, perfect for any moment on the floor.
All in all, elrow Music closes the summer with yet another amazing EP, retaking with this ERM114 the good costume of high rolling remixes. Next stop: ADE! See you all in Amsterdam!
