The Shadow

Swedish quartet Inkfish make their full Bonzai debut with The Shadow. The group had previously remixed various tracks with much praise, including Airwave’s Triangle which gained a lot of support.

First up we have The Shadow with its eighties led synth intro that packs so many textures into one space. The track soon settles into a smooth and deep progressive house groove with nice punchy kicks alongside a rhythmic percussion and a rolling bassline that keeps things moving beautifully. Those big synths make a return on the break and throughout and give the track so much character. Very cool stuff and not to be missed.

Misophone intros with a gritty pad sequence to the backdrop of subtle breaks. Brighter melodic phrases begin to peak through and takes us up a much more pronounced drum arrangement with a superb deep low end sub bass shaking the foundations of the groove. Expertly crafted drum patterns materialise on the break as that super low bass continues to shudder. Super cool atmospheric track that holds a lot dynamic structures which will appeal to many.
