Hi List, Well, I'm pretty proud of this new EP and since I lived in the Detroit area a while (Ferndale/9 mile to be precise), maybe it tangentially qualifies as 313 music... ;-)
Here's the scoop: Klectik003 - Dave Powers – Into The Twilight EP, Featuring a remix from Camea 12" Vinyl Available Now Get if from Neuton, Juno, Downtown161, and Gramaphone Records in Chicago... (and elsewhere) Receiving Support From Par Grindvik, Inside Out, Maetrik, Bryan Zentz, and Elon A1. Freakmachine A2. Mr. Monster B1. Mr. Monster (Camea's Remix) B2. Pod-Op After much success with his track, The Bomb, featured on the Klectik001 various artists EP, Chicago - based producer, Dave Powers returns. He is debuting his first solo EP for the Detroit label, entitled Into the Twilight, presenting 3 exquisite original cuts, as well as a dark, stripped - down remix from minimal superstar/Clink Records' own, Camea (Clink, Clickhouse | Brooklyn, Berlin). A1. Freakmachine is a succinct tech house jam, littered with infectious basslines and snappy synths. While these elements give the track a swingy, house groove, Powers throws in some funky, electro-tinged, synthed - out breakbeats which will definitely keep the dancefloor moving throughout the track. A2. With Mr. Monster, Dave once again draws on his signature basslines while bringing in a few varying pitched tom melodies and bizarre twilight synth stabs that aim to drive the crowd into a frenzy. The track breaks off into a nasty staccato-laced snare drum breakdowns and loops back into the heart of the structure, layered with varied synth components that are accented by Dave's own tweaks and glitches. B1. Camea delivers a phenomenal remix of Mr. Monster on the B-side. She creates a shuffled groove via short delays and random reverb touches. Camea applies her production skills via a haunting, heavily pitched synth that pushes the track through its' subtle changes, in both intensity and power. This remix definitely takes things into dark territories and is sure to be a staple of many of dj's sets worldwide. B2. Powers rounds things out with a deep and more minimal groove with Pod-OP, which is filled with booming bass tones that warm the room with their sub frequencies. The track takes its listeners on a minimal tech journey with its moody synths and warped sounds.
