 The latest on the Feed Me series comes from cold mother Russia's brand new project, Moonbeam.
"The Raven Gipsy Ep" comes with two original tracks along with an incredibly tasty rehash from Chris Micali. First up is "Raven Gipsy" which comprises of a funk tinged bassline and tech house percussion that begin to set the flow while interspersed with tweaked spacial sounds. As things progress the tech angle is kept up with constant working of tepid synthlines along with a beatiful spoken poem by Chris Lunsford.
Next comes "Air", blending pulsating basslines with melodic undertones that ease the emotion forward before breaking down briefly and rolling on with a warm, atmospheric vibe. Dark, techy beats with all the feeling behind a progressive number locked up inside.
The remix falls in the hands of talented US producer Chris Micali who takes parts of the original "Raven Gipsy" and starts by chunkin' up the beats, gradually building up percussive elements and adding lengthy delayed fx that seem to bubble underneath as the track begins to blossom . Midway through the pace is kept at maximum, as constant sounds lurk in the backgound as ever so slowly an hypnotic synthline filters up and re-enforces the energetic groove. An absolute gem, heavily supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, Chab, Gpal and Spesh, among others. |
