Nila and Luis Damora delivers two-track EP that straddles the line between main room progressive and deep house complexity…
Scottish producer Nila, now based in New Zealand, is no stranger to the Balance roster. Shaped by the explosive rise of trance, techno, and progressive house during the ’90s dance music scene, he now delivers a warm, flowing sound that many are latching onto.
Here, he is joined by Spanish producer Luis Damora, making his Balance Music debut. With support from a who’s who of the progressive world already in the bag, Damora is well on his way to break into the wider scene.
On ‘Lose Kontrol’ a warm, bubbling bassline flickers in the background with blue flame energy. Combined with the soothing kick drum and crisp percussion, these elements alone could create an infectious dancefloor track. However, they are merely the entrée to delicate arpeggiated pads and synths, which enter the mix like a silk ribbon blowing in the wind. The melody is gently filtered into the breakdown, where sprinkles of synths flirt above it all. When the drums kick back in, the dance floor will surrender any semblance of control to its revitalizing energy.
‘Silicon Surface‘ breathes with a life of its own, a fusion of organic rhythm and mechanical precision. Delicate FX skitters in the background with the gentle hum of electrical circuitry, while a rising pad emits a nebulous glow. Beneath this fog lies an intricate network of progressive elements working in harmony. The bassline flows with a liquid energy, while shimmering synths trace patterns as intricate and delicate as fractals. Each beat, each note, sends ripples across a landscape that is undeniably contagious and perfect for deeper dancefloors.
