Charm Sneak Electronic & Dance 2 Artikel

Reach Recordz are back with their 4th release with the return of the mysterious Charm Sneak. Five unique tracks of moody, dark ambient tunes, to heads down late night techy business laid out across both sides.

Following two excellent releases by the duo Thread, Reach Recordz kick off the new year with a release that stays true to the labels vision and further cements it’s reputation…On the helm for REACH003 is Charm Sneak, who delivers four dystopian, futuristic soundscapes.
The first track is a powerful slow builder of a tune. Constructed around a gyrating percussion pattern, incendiary handclaps and subtle, tidal melodies, it’s the wobbly acid line that slowly creeps in and really lifts it off.
The second track is expertly crafted & balanced, electroy vibes, Kraftwerkian melodies and an infinitely-repeated arpeggiated synth-riff. Boom. Beware though – it’s all reduced and distilled down to its bare bones.
On the flip, track 3 sees Charm Sneak abandon the restraints that characterises the first two cuts. A bolshy workout complete with super tight, crisp percussion, a pulsating bassline and a sense of unswerving urgency that is infectious.
Rounding off the EP & possibly the rawest of the tracks on the 12”. Just under that 140bpm sweetspot, it’s a gradual progression through bleeps, whirls, before locking into a motorik electro blizard. Another winner!
