This release presents us three luscious tracks from our meandering-funk supergroup Pikaya. It´s their second record for the Meander imprint and it´s pretty a remarkable one. After their last output with the name Jive and a recent split release for Grubenstrasse Zuerich, now they strongly back with crafty signals & grooves, luscious melodies, warm but clear rhythmic beats finalised with a solid dash of acid. This music from our duo has a high standart in sound development, it´s their mosts straight production to date, and comes salted with raw analog aestetics. Levante is a dub driven odyssey to the space. It shows Pikaya´s musical ability to form deep soundscapeish dance compositions. Varying drum patterns and room engaging beatstructures snapping every attention, emphasized by a cavernous bass theme. The flipside starts with Liquid Loop, a quirly anthem of analog inventions and melodic tone shiftings. Everything touched with irresistible micro house atmospheres and melodies. Warm cords and sharp drums eventually leading into fuzzy acidic outerworlds. To underline the statement, the third tune Department jumps in with a robust kickdrum. Atonal swing excursions and a smack synthesizer mood complete this veritable cinematic and vital record.[wa txt from ]
