Jeremy Malvin aka Chrome Sparks presents his third EP on Future Classic, expanding upon his affinity for synthesizers, unusual sound combinations, and sample manipulation. Lead single "Moonraker" is a constantly progressing track with a subtle groove and intricate percussion. "Give It Up" demonstrates Malvin's ability to heighten intensity and produce mind-bending music by layering synths and luscious percussion atop a solid bass groove. Finally, "Ride the White Lightning" is an intricate club weapon, taking listeners on an epic nine-minute journey that effortlessly glides through builds and breakdowns.

This EP finds Jeremy Malvin, head of Chrome Sparks, mining the depths of bass music, synth pop, ambient hip-hop, and everything in between. "Goddess" builds around a wordless vocal sample, pitched and manipulated to blend in with the surrounding melodies. "Star Step" ebbs and flows, with the song's synth melody rooted firmly in Chrome Sparks' typically intricate and ornate percussion. "Enter the Chrome Forest" and "Lost in the Chrome Forest" are two cavernous songs that play with the space of the mix as much as they do the song's melody. "ZzzzzZ" recalls the West Coast beat scene-style hip-hop purveyed by the likes of Teebs and Salva.

Inspired by a background in classical percussion and an obsession with synthesizers, Jeremy Malvin creates music under the name Chrome Sparks. The project kicked off in mid-2012 with the release of "Marijuana," a thumping, fluttering piece of electronica that set the internet alight. "Marijuana" finally sees official release as part of Chrome Sparks' debut EP Sparks, a 6-track exhibition of future-funk. From contemplative opener "Your Planets" to the anthemic "Send the Pain On," this EP demonstrates Malvin's affinity for synthesizers, unusual sound combinations and sample manipulation.
