Edward
Deep Sea Villain EP
Mp3s & jpegsBerlin scene figurehead Gilles Aiken, AKA Edward, coming through with a massive Kalahari debut (and it?s safe to say he understood the assignment). Booting off on a massive remix tip as the veteran producer reinterprets Mike Parker & Aric Rists Trybet project, but trust him to allow for a moment of dancefloor introspection. It?s prime early morning gear in a rousing juxtaposition of beatific string harmony and tough-as-nails deepness. Triumphant ?window shutters open in the club at 5 AM-type shit. The other two are quintessential Edward: impressionistic, widescreen odysseys across lysergic terrain, but groove-forward where it counts. A pair of head-spinning explorations intended for the dancefloor, flush with shadowy flex, insectoid detail and tripped-out flourishes while keeping it funked-out in the tradition of Detroit. The Deep Sea Villain EP plumbs the depths of smudged abstraction, and as we?ve come to expect from Edward, it?s big on hallucinatory detail. It all oozes the multi-layered surrealism that typifies his best work. Proper transcendent biz.
