ENV009 HYPE
Daniel Wang is back with "Silver Trophies," his second 12" for Environ
following up on last year's sold out "Mechanical Birds EP." With his
legendary BALIHU label on hiatus indefinitely and his last 12" on Germany's
influential PLAYHOUSE label still turning heads, Environ is proud to
present Daniel's latest foray into rhythm and sound.
"All Flowers Must Fade" stretches its Moroder-influenced groove out over
close to nine minutes. Synthetic swells and strings ebb and flow over a
funky, sequenced bassline. Singing cowbells and analog toms arrange
themselves in a time grid beneath Wang's echoing arpeggios and melancholy
riffs - a combination that is guaranteed to move floors.
"To Hold You Again" takes you into a disco club in Shanghai. The blinking
lights of the skyline punctuate the early morning fog. The idoru plays her
vibraphone through space echo as the club fills with bizarre string swells
and synthetic murmurs. The drummer and bassist (no doubt on leave from
their duties with an intergalactic Salsoul cover band) keep the smoky room
swaying. This song is a deep and subtle 4/4 beauty.
"Altitude" is a striking little aperitif that sports a cutting bassline
matched with a laid-back boogie beat. Electro pulses pop and lock while
spirals of arpeggios backspin up through the atmosphere, gelling to create
a perfect conclusion to the EP.
Keep an eye out for Daniel's new CD album out on Environ later this year!
Thanks for reading.
