Hekkla House | Deep House 2 Items

That crystalline moment we all know too well. What was Saturday night has become Sunday morning. Pleading with sleep to come while piecing together the last few hours of the party you’ve just left. Few would claim to be at their most productive at this ungodly hour. Not Hekkla, this is when he gets down to work. The Nachtbraker EP is the product of several of these post club jam sessions. Or in the words of the artist “The same places revisited again and again in the midst of night.” Translated from the Dutch word “Night Owl”, Hekkla’s latest extended play delivers on it’s promise, serving 4 cuts of floor filling goodness ready for breakfast.

02AM is an 4 track EP by the young producer Hekkla from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The first track is ‘Sunset Strip’, a slowly build house track that moves like the last waves of heat at the end of a hot summers day, walking home feeling satisfied, all ready for the night. ‘Saturday Morning Sentimentality’ is a hard to pinpoint track that sounds like the bastard son of a trio between the melancholic side of Cyndi Lauper, Alphaville and the echoes of a cheesy saturday morning cartoon theme song from the late 80’s. On the other side ‘Memories of Tau Ceti’ feels like tumbling into space with only the memories left of a good time on an alien world, accelerating faster and faster but still enjoying it, even though you know that the vacuum of space will eventually kill you. Finishing with the hardest track ‘No Math’, because, boys and girls, it’s no math. Hand stamped artwork by Frank Koedood.
