Side Effects EP

Belgian DJ and producer Petro Chatzopoulos aka Petri Petro is back at Basiks with his superb four tracker, ‘Side Effects EP’. His last outing saw a fantastic remix on Tribal Warriors’, ‘New York To Ibiza’.

First up we have the powerful bass driven ‘Protocol’ that comes out of the blocks with a full on in your face throbbing bass and phat kick combi and contrasted with subtle sharp hat. Well placed percussions ease their way into the sound with a few white noise FX thrown in, but it’s that monster bass that dominates throughout. Perfect ammo for those darker rooms and a track that will blow you away!

‘Vital Signs’ sets of with punchy kicks and crispy hats alongside a deep pulsating bass. Cool FX find a space in the track as the groove evolves with the introduction of cool synth. A short respite from the bass allows you to get ready for the next round resulting in a proper slice of driving Techno that will invade your senses and take full control.

‘Immunity’ goes straight for the jugular from the outset as a gritty bass is unleashed with a nice and chunky kick as backup. Cool rhythms are borne out of the well crafted hats and percussion arrangement as the track powers through. Nice and simple one shot synths are the perfect partner to this solid bass driven Techno cut.

The title track ‘Side Effects’ rounds up this superb EP. Snappy kicks and a deep resonating bass get us moving alongside a very cool percussion arrangement. The bass holds a steady groove as it drives on throughout the sound. The break focuses on the percussions before slamming us right back into this full on pumping Techno beat!
