AMT 041EP
|
Even as a relatively new face on the scene, Boaksi, isn't a stranger to longer format releases. The budding Zurich based producer made a splash with his first two releases Under The Pavilion and I Thought It Was Yesterday which featured remixes from Soela, Louf, and Al Zanders. Now he debuts on Seb Wildblood's all my thoughts label with a four-track emotionally visceral EP titled Keep Movin'. The title track, "Keep Movin'," takes a dynamic approach, layering creamy pads and impactful percussion with subtle dub techno influences that create a refreshingly deep groove, propelling a carefully positioned vocal sample into the forefront. "Didn't I," leads with a beautiful, progressive melody that evokes a sense of yearning, and the ever-relatable Romanticism of the club. Delicately triggered chords dance off the wonderfully unpredictable drum patterns, while Boaksi's minimalist vocals add a touch of human emotion. "Running Out Of Time" takes a more introspective turn, featuring distant, detuned textures that set the stage for a bed of soft, distorted pads. Stripped-back percussion allows the climbing arpeggios to take center stage, building to a cleansing break that allows the atmosphere to expand before settling back into a warm, percussive groove. The EP closes with "Wanna Be With You," another emotionally intelligent piece that showcases Boaksi's prowess for crafting captivating soundscapes. Elemental drums and breathtaking, climatic chords provide the foundation for a beautifully free-forming synth arpeggio that flutters playfully around an unforgettable vocal hook.
