Body & Soul EP

Sa.Du gets 2016 off to a great start with this sublime five track EP entitled Body & Soul. This guy always delivers the goods and judging by his last outing – Glide, back in the Summer of 2015 we know we’re in for another tasty techno treat.

Body & Soul gets right down to business with a solid punchy kickdrum and bright plink plonks alongside a shuffling rhythmic hat sequence. A superb, deep probing bassline comes through and is soon joined by a darkly sinister vocal and gritty swirling synth. The track settles into its techno groove for the duration as various percussion layers build giving the track a definite dancefloor friendly vibe.

Figaro Kick intros with a wispy percussive sound that gives off a haunting vibe before a nice chunky kick comes in and gets the track moving. A shadow descends onto the track as we are taken deep into the darker side of techno with its relentless groove that locks you on for the duration. A real monster of a track here that will give any set a welcome boost.

7 Seas settles into a solid techno groove right from the off as chunky kicks are met with a superb probing bass that dominates the sound beautifully. A metallic offset note comes in alongside the crispy sharp percussions and get the rhythm moving nicely. Cool melodies float above tough groove providing some cool contrasts in the sound. The break throws up some quality sounds and blends them into a surreal sequence that fits perfectly into this full on techno groove. Top notch stuff.

Parametric is a superb slice of dark techno that will definitely keep any floor rocking well into the night. Punchy kicks and crispy hats provide a steady rhythmic vibe as a deep throbbing bassline lurks on the low end. Tough synths come through alongside a cool vocal that adds a wonderful texture to the sound. The groove intensifies as a myriad of sounds collide head on resulting in a sublime techno offering. Excellent stuff yet again from Sa.Du, this one is a must have for sure.

In Da Club is a perfectly apt title for what is about to unfold. A superb techno groove is born out of this cacophony of sounds that merge together perfectly. Chunky kicks and slicing hats are joined by a deep throbbing bassline that sits beautifully at the low end providing a solid platform for the track to drive forward. Cool clangy sounds come in on the offset and resonate brilliantly with the techno groove as equally cool vocals ring out at various intervals. This one serves up a real treat for the floors and is not to be missed.
