If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!The White Man & The Arab – BLM & Soho decide to revisit the partnership that gave us Future Moves EP. The resulting second EP - Misanthropy - while roughly following the same mood of their first release, shows the two producers becoming more attuned to each others strengths and sounding more and more like one well-oiled unit. Clocking in at around 20 minute mark, were treated to three cuts of pure deep bliss, each with its own distinct flavour.
Sales Information:
Opening cut “Numbers” works as a statement of intent for the EP; it instantly draws you into a deep, pad-infused world complete with intricate percussive patterns and a dream like synth line that will have you hooked. The almost broken drum beat carries the whole thing forward, the breakdown is euphoric and right then all the little details become clear.
Over on the flip, “Thinking of You” is one of those tracks that can work equally well, early in a set or really late. A lush string-led melody combined with the obligatory vocal sample, gives way to a stripped down arrangement that emphasizes all the small bits that you hadn't paid attention to before.
Rounding off the EP is “Acid”; starting off with a thumping kick drum and not much else, you’re soon given a glimpse of the familiar 303 squelch that does just enough to tease you, letting you know you’re in for a ride. It’s all shaky percussion, airy pads and a great acid line that carries the whole track; a definite 'what the fuck is going on?' moment![txt from ]
