UY 094EP
|
Samuel Thalmann aka Okain follows up his digital label debut, Some of My Tools (2014), and his praised collaboration with Onno (UY 085EP, 2014). "Coma" delivers swirling hi-NRG synth modulations and super-ecstatic vocal bits for those who like to get into the groove. Prime-time heaven. "Karma" is clearly focused on the deeper end of the spectrum, with spatial effects and mellow, slightly dubbed-out chords meeting muscular drums, balearic sample-work, and scenic string arrangements. "Silver Door" delivers Chitown-reminiscent phonk, stripped-down production, and an almighty acid line to hype the crowd right before floating synths up the intensity.

TSUBA 042EP
|
"In four short years Tsuba has become one of the UK's most respected underground house labels with releases from some of the world's most desirable producers. One of the key artists in the Tsuba family is Samuel Thalmann aka Okain. Okain has had an impressive few years releasing for Tsuba, Quartz and Jetaime and whilst not in the studio has kept up an intense touring schedule taking in dates at some of the world's leading clubs. His latest release kicks off with title track 'Sleepwalking', a superb slice of bumpin groove laden house with subtle vocal hooks and a spacey hypnotic vibe. Next up is 'Scream', a track which once again journey's into the realms of rock solid house, featuring a rollin bassline, loose jackin percussion and refined melodic elements. Closing track 'Grimmy' rounds off an EP that is certain to keep dancefloors moving in the months to come and a perfect example of Okain's production talents."
