Newborn Munich based label Slam City Jams comes around the corner with its first release from young gun Gonima straight outta Montreal, Canada. His Grids EP? An exciting mixture of swinging distorted drums, catchy melodies and hazy atmospheres. You can definitely spot Gonima s passion for DX7 adventures, analog drums and tape hiss right here. Opener -Grids- starts off with lush synth blips, 707 drums and a bassline Bootsy Collins would give high-fives for. -Subdivided- is one of these tracks that shows you that it doesn’t need more than a few elements to get you going: A rough kick drum, cowbells and a smooth pad that gets slapped by just one bass note. The last original on B2 is the ambient-like -Organ Tutorials-, which shifts your mind directly to outer space. And as if all this wasn t enough, someone really special did a great remix job – Khotin from 1080p fame, who gave the A2 cut a treat with his unique trademark sound. Four house and ambient tracks both for the floor and the couch. Or as Gonima puts it: -An EP that has the sound of visiting home in the winter and rediscovering environments frequented in the past, birthing previously obscured memories. The sounds within are a ritual dance to stay warm through the procession of the seasons-
