The first Circulation EP on Balance Music is a four track journey through deep tech…
The story of Circulation is well-documented, and for good reason. His focus on streamlined dynamics consistently targets the heart of the dance floor. In his debut EP for Balance Music, the veteran delivers as expected: three effortless, tech-flavoured productions and one electronica cut, each flaunting the hallmarks of an experienced hand at the helm.
The committed deep tech rhythm and slightly ominous edge of ‘Bedroom Lies‘ will entice and then utterly seduce you. Cloaked in darkness lies a bottom end glowing with distortion. However, a filtered house synth rises through the low frequencies to break the nocturnal spell, heralding a wonderful array of percussive hits and FX. Finally, an optimistic vocodered sample oversees the renewal, completing a moody electronic workout.
With a slightly retro synth singed in a melodic malaise, contemplative vocals, and super sleek drums, ‘Don’t Look Back‘ ushers you into sultry depths. Enveloping you inside an 80’s action movie adventure, reach for this when you need to clean the palate and release some tension.
Circulation EP also features Golden Electronica
Like its Greek god namesake, the electronica of ‘EOS‘ captures the essence of dawn, weaving gold across the horizon. Here, ambient washes of reverb shimmer through time. The velvet surface is punctured by vocal stabs and subtle percussive hits, comforting diurnal rebirth. These are exquisite frequencies for moments of reflection.
With a kick so confident it could spark Ragnarok, ‘Viking Rodeo‘ is a stomping, bopping incursion through pure dance. The driving, syncopated bass feels restless but captures you with its infectious design. Alongside distant voices from the aether, a modulated synth blows with the victorious bluster of a fluctuating ocean wind, propelling this gem towards dance floor Valhalla.
