Review:

 

So, time to review the latest release from Trimatic which actually is a project

by our dear Son Kites, and I can assure you, this is aswell top quality stuff!

It takes of with "Kyoto", which starts with a heavy rhythm and crunchy

vinyl-like effects and some easy bongo drumming. Ok, nice you think, sounds

quite much like the other rhythmic stuff which is being released (Pope of

Gegga and acts like that), but then it starts to build and you´re starting to

see the light... a baseline joins the party, and ofcourse more percussions of

all kind which is being layered upon each other comes in.... the energy starts

to build... and suddenly the a new much more friendly baseline and it starting

to get really sunny ... Tribal elements, some weird voice samples and a very

nice looped sunny melodie comes in... and suddenly there is a break (a break =

no kickdrum). Now, it really starts to take form, all the sunny elements is

now heard and a wonderful sunny melody, very beutiful!... Th!

e Sunny elements keeps coming in as all the other friendly layers which has

been used in the tracks comes in,,, and then the journey starts to end (!?!).

This track has so many different phases and turns that it really becomes a

fantastic journey, there is ups and down, for some people maybe even lefts and

rights ). Progressive tech-trance for the mornings which without doubt gets

top grade from me, lovely!

The second track ("Slovant") starts in the same way as the first one, but with

a more repeating chugging /"dirty" baseline which follows us through the whole

track. The ingredients in this track is a some really dirty percussions (which

sometimes actually smash! you right in the face, but please let it hit, do not

parry ), a veery psychedelic voice sample saying "psychedelic" fading in and

out through almost the whole track and dark/warped/chewing effects which only

the Son Kites can create. A very hypnotic dark tech/trance track, which will

keep going around in you´re head even after you´re needle has left the record.

If you have heard Son Kite´s "Good Town" (which I actually liked more then the

"Where´s my drum" track on the same EP!) then you have something to compare

with. They got the same hypnotic dark "forrest" feel but "Slovant" is a little

bit slower, more technoish and the rhythm is heavier (=more technoish?). What

can I say,,, Excellent!.

"Matter of Grasp" is the night-time track on this EP. It takes of with a veery

"chemical" blipping loop and chugging baseline. Ofcourse you can later in the

track find the massive layers of percussions and also the warped effects is

there. Percussive tech-trance for the night-times, that is the best

description I can come up with. Not my fav here, but I can say that it´s top

quality stop and you woun´t get dissapointed if you´re into this kind of

night-time music.

All in all, a top!! EP for me and definetly the best I´ve heard from the Baluns

record label and for sure one of the best from the MPDQX label group aswell

(including Digital Structures), give us more ). Take Care.
