DRIVE FICTION EP

Werk Music

WRK02

Info:

The Second Release On Werk Is Signed By J. Manuel. The Young Producer Has Been Polishing His Sound Ever Since He First Started Experimenting With Electronic Music Gear As A Child. His Commitment To Following His Own Instincts Rather Than Conforming To What Was Being Played Around Him Resulted In A Very Different Aesthetic To The One Commonly Associated With Berlin Techno. Drive Fiction Ep Stands Proof Of That. All 3 Tracks Push Boundaries In Their Own Style, That Being Perhaps The Strongest Link Between Them. The Title Track -drive Fiction- Presents Old-school Leads Over Broken Beats And Electro Inspired Pads While The A2 -falling In Sine Circulation- Is Arguably The Most Dance Floor Oriented Track, With A Pounding 4×4 Kick Drum And An Alarming 3/4 Sine Wave Slaying The High Frequencies. Closing The Ep Is B-side -softer-, A Melodic Track With Long, Undulating Pads That Is Nonetheless Driven By A Powerful Rave-inspired Beat. With Its Second Release, Werk Comes To Confirm The Path It Seeks To Travel Through Both Parties And Releases: That Of The Sounds Less Rigid. Gritty, Wild And Presenting A Wide Range Of Rhythmic Patterns, Drive Fiction Ep Is A Defying Record. Challenge Accepted?
