Death on the Balcony delivers a deep two track EP…
After a brief hiatus Dawn Till Dusk returns for more 24-hour dance floor adventures. Mark Caramelli & Paul Hargreaves have been causing quite a stir under the banner of Death on the Balcony. From disco to house to deep techno, they create magic from any frequency. Here, the accent is on organic groove, a two-track EP destined for deeper dancefloors.
A percussive, velvet flow anchors the sound of ‘Thinking of You (By My Side)‘. It’s an assured groove that feels comfortingly familiar. The bass leads the proceedings with a confidence that will urge anyone within earshot to join the dance. However, it’s the shimmering piano line that truly hooks you in, tempering the intensity before eventually introducing a longing vocal that sways in the air like a pleasant distant memory.
‘Patterns’ ooze sex appeal. With a tuned-in funk engine, the hi-hats pop with crystalline clarity on top of a brazen kick stomping its way through your USB. Synth stabs accentuate the groove, punctuating the soft pads that is spread like warm butter across the entire production. A vocal sample declaring the nature of patterns only highlights the deep funk embedded within: a highly satisfying 4/4 pattern worth its weight in gold.
