HERZ 054EP
|
Luna Semara returns to Stephan Bodzin's Herzblut with two tracks rippling with tension and drama. "Yul Brynner" sees stern unfaltering pads and trembling percussion mirror the great actor's famous unflinching gaze and the lead synth shimmers with a kingly presence. "Blackwash" cuts to the chase with a much more direct route; a staccato stab leads the charge before a kick drum switch the changes the groove entirely opening up caverns of space for the synth tendrils to creep and crawl through before the vast sunrise pads sweep across the mix.

HERZ 052EP
|
Luna Semara presents an impressive slice of electronic emotion with Enuma. "Mustafa" opens the release in pure pleasurable fashion. Its steady bubbling synth line builds with waves of synth chords flowing back and forth. Continuing the blissful journey is title track "Enuma". A powerful, climbing synth line leads as warm pads and bongos pave the way beneath. A strong kick drum then builds momentum as the synth begins to growl. Whilst the intensity increases, the beauty is never lost and we're brought back down with a tender touch.

HERZ 049EP
|
Herzblut Recordings boss Stephan Bodzin has unearthed a real gem in French DJ and producer Luna Samara, who debuts here. As its name suggests, "Arp Choir" is a wonderful arrangement of ascending synth and warm enveloping bass, with an electronic thunderclap that increases the pace and intensity without losing any of the track's initial elegance. Beautiful. On "The Pink Room," burbling synth and a solid kick drum lead us in as warm, heaving pulses heat the space. "The Pink Room" never peaks, instead holding us in suspense -- a perfect track to open any night.
