Info:

In Advance Of The Release Of Dapayk & Padbergs Third Full-length Sweet Nothings - This Time Round On Stil Vor Talent - The Experienced Duo Are Teasing Us With The Fluffy Cloud Ep, Which Showcases Three Of The Album’s Many Diverse Highlights, While Keeping The Vinyl Lovers Happy. The A-side Bears The Lps Title Track >sweet Nothings<, On Which Dapayk & Padberg’s Sound Takes A Turn As They Come Knocking With A Deep But Forceful Groover, Whose Distorted High-hats And Trancey Synth Stabs Create A Vibe Both Euphoric And Weirdly Subdued. The Lyrics, Moreover, Emphasise The Duality At The Core Of Many Dapayk & Padberg Tracks As The Latter Ponders ‘you’re Good For Me - You’re Bad For Me’. Showing Another Of The Duo’s Many Facets, ‘backyard’ Enchants Thanks To Mystical Lyrics Sung Beautifully Over A Deep Quasi-dubstep Structure. Marking The Ep’s Mid-point, The Atmospheric Song Shines Through Intricately Crafted Fragility And Is The Perfect Contrast To The Previous And Following Track, While Leaving A Strong Desire For More Stuck In The Listener’s Mind. On The B-side, ‘fluffy Clouds’ Does Quite The Opposite To What Its Title Suggests - Rather Than Being A Soft Little Piece, We Are Treated To Big-room Techno Fodder à La Berghain. A Skeletal Framework Of Heavy Kicks, Dark Pads, White Noise And Dense Metallics Works Relentlessly Underneath A Cold Spoken Word, Proclaiming >not Human, Not Animal - Just A Body In Motion<. Machine Funk Par Excellence.
