Artist: Aquiver
Title:
Conexion Divina
Label:
Desert Trax
Released:
10th January
This
producer from Israel who is totally fresh to my ears puts forth a
concept E.P. dedicated to re-harmonizing human hearts to the wonders
of nature. Across each of the five tracks he flirts with tempos and
genres but has given them all a full psy exploration covering breaks,
dub, dub-step, glitch and downtempo.
We
get underway in slow motion fashion with light beautiful strings
juxtaposed against glitchy dub on ‘Gen’ which overall is a
pleasant enough enticer to the release. This is followed by
‘Crystalizer’ which is more of a bass heavy dub-step affair,
injected with little touches that you would associate with psy-dub.
The
next piece crunchs slowly before unfolding with some typically
psychedelic spoken samples and dubby keys on ‘In Our Heads’.
Whilst the title track utilises more ecological focused spoken
samples and once again utilises some nice strings against a dubby
background. From the snippet samples I first played this track stood
out. However, it’s this final piece ‘The Great Barrier Reef’
when playing the full versions I found appealed the most. Where the
harmonious vocal of the intro leads into a mellow piece of ambient
dub.
