Zaq Magic Silver EP

Bengoa's B2 Recordings returns with its third release this June, this time the inaugural release from newcomer Zaq, entitled 'Magic Silver' and backed with a remix from the label-head himself. B2 Recordings : ''Zaq is an analogue machine expert and upcoming bright new talent in the scene. Collecting analogue gear from the age of 15, Zaq's output has influences from dub to italo, early 80s and 90s drum machines, ambient, reggae and acid house - his debut on B2 recordings is a personal statement and the start of many great things that are about to follow from the young artist.'' 'Body Waves' leads on the release, a tripped out dub infused cut drive by evolving ethereal atmospheres, echoing synth stabs and off-kilter drums. Following is 'Take Heed' which embraces a more tool like approach via bumpy beats and circling dub to keep things moving. On the flip, the original mix of 'Magic Silver' is up first, showcasing the acid house influences of the artist, blending together squelchy 303 licks with dub stab sequences and 808 drums. Bengoa's Club Reshape of Magic silver then rounds out the package and tips things into peak-time realms, fusing the original with a dynamic 909 drum workout and enchanting spoken word vocals.
