Up In The Air

ased in Tel Aviv, Hilal is no stranger to the Bonzai stable with releases on Bonzai Progressive, Howz Choonz, Mint & Mustard and a few remixes and appearances on compilations on Bonzai Basiks. “Up In The Air” is Hilal’s full Basiks debut and what we get is a full ride into techno utopia with all the trimmings you’d expect.The title track kicks us off in style with a minimal intro, classic kick and FX’d percussion lead up to a stomping deep bass and some very nice synth work. On the break a melody is unexpected but creates a cool atmosphere with heavy synths and pads, then it blows up into a solid techno groove once again, superb stuff!”Let’s Go” is a huge sound, heavy hitting low ends with a myriad of samples, lots of funk on this one with parts giving an industrial feel. The break is a total surprise which will have floors quaking in their dancing shoes, so be ready for that!Finally we have “When Two Become One”, another minimalistic intro building gradually to a big club friendly vibe. Chunky kicks and sharp percs over an offset bass that twists and morphs with each bar, very surreal synth pad adds an extra layer to this hybrid sound. Special stuff happening here which we think will perform very well on the circuit.
