PREMIERE: Vardae - Captivate [Konstrukt]

Sounds and scenes progress, mature, evolve, all synonyms for the same energy. The energy that surrounds the creation and impetus of a burgeoning idea or a bleeding edge of art.

Change.

The constant clashing of influences from everywhere and nowhere. Especially now more than ever, as everyone is battered with a barrage of ideas and trends that appear as quickly as they disappear. It’s hard to pick apart the impactful bits but to Vardae we look as a harbinger of quality changes. Today’s pick lands on his seemingly effortless foray into half-time as we land on Captivate from the forth-coming, “Dance with the spirits” EP. It’s a raucous affair, and contains all the bits you’d want from a track that will split tempo, and get dancers to sway like seaweed. From syncopated, off-kilter percussion, to long developing breakdowns, the detailed textures and minute changes get even the most jaded listener going. This EP, coupled with his Mostra set, wow. One to watch out for.

"Captivate", and the rest of the ‘Dance with the Spirits’ EP will be released on Konstrukt, April 19th.
