An On Bast - Harvest
Techno , Tech-house , Electronica [ Ghost Kitchen ]
Out Now
Do not be fooled by idyllic and humorous cover of the latest EP of an excellent Polish producer of electronic music - An On Bast . Put aside merry associations . The new material is a powerful dose of thick dark - space - techno . It ' s deep , sometimes even very gloomy , with piercing bass , wild drums happening across the spectrum of absolutely cosmic sounds .
It starts with an innocent prelude in the form of " Su Fighter " that should be treated as a good warm-up preparing for the real harvest . An On Bast dosed the experience by introducing the audience deeper and deeper into the abyss of intricately composed sounds . The temperature in the song builds up , but does not reach its apogee . It keeps in check . Metrical beat outlines the rhythm , moves the senses , builds mood .
There ’ s a different story going on in " The Harvester ", which from the beginning immerses in a murky , dream-like , at the same time disquieting dark-techno . Heavy bass and shredded , leading melody , which don ’ t take the groove away however . On the contrary - this track enslaves body , it is sultry and dense like cigarette smoke looming somewhere in the background , totally mesmerizing .
Immediately after , in " Auf Karussell ", characteristic of the artist theme appears of diabolical , amusement park like instrumentation . Weirdly trembling children ' s music box accompanied by insane drums make a perfect tandem for a beat . Sounds pile up , sometimes creating
10 ZONE-MAGAZINE . IE a wonderful mixture of forms , colors and meanings , in which An On Bast gives vent to her technical and visionary abilities .
EP closes " Revenge of the Nerds " - the work definitely calmer than the previous ones , giving repose after dark , psychedelic tripping , but remaining in the atmosphere . There are more of a cosmic space sounds fillings taken from the rich An On Bast ’ s universe . " Harvest " " mows ” senses completely with modern expanse full of all An On Bast already managed to get used to her audience - space sounds , original , surprising instruments and juicy penetrating beat . This material is definitely danceable , there are little moments to take a breath , the kick drum constantly dictates the rhythm . The artist this time reached into the dark guts of her electronic instrumentation , giving the whole material attractively sinister character . This fall " Harvest " will gather the crop on many dance floors !
