It’s been a busy year for Swiss platform Adam’s Bite, a label which has been gliding graciously through its series. Even in the most recent months, names of some of the most respected underground producers keep on coming. Since January, Audio Werner, Vincent Lemieux, Guillaume Coutu-Dumont, Cesar Merveille, IULY.B and Lumieux have all graced the wax. The latest release welcomes more reputable figures, as Romanian artist Floog teams up with Brizman.
It’s clear the duo have been busy at work in the studio together. Only days have passed since we premiered Brizman’s ‘Tomorrow Is A New Day’ EP over on Artreform, which came complete with a remix from Floog. Together, the pair bring fresh, rolling beats in their new collaborative project for Adam’s Bite.
‘True Believer’ is led by a delectable, squelching bassline that pulsates in its minimalistic edge. Hypnotic rhythm captivates with an infectious groove, the foundation for the wealth of nuances to come. Choppy, robotic vocals echo through the bars, before melody oozes in bright arpeggio. Rattling drums echo in the electronics, a matrix of sounds before you’ve even got to the two minute mark.
At this point, Linn Stern’s vocal emerges as the standout, bringing a deep warmth that is only magnetised by the atmospheric synth around it. It’s easy to get lost for a moment, before the energy is whipped back in and it’s back to the robots. There really is a lot to this piece of brilliance. Unique in its layers, the direction changes at every corner – a masterful ability to shift and surprise.
All the way leading the charge, it’s the beat that will surely storm through the dance floor. Add this alongside the juicy sub of ‘Lost Connection’ and the trippy glitch of ‘That Hook’ – you’ve got yourself a rather nice EP.
