Subconscious Tales - Arris EP [SMD088]

The 88th release on Suffused Music welcomes Subconscious Tales back to the label for a brand new three track EP. Latvian producer Ivars Tiliks debuted his new alias on the Lithuanian imprint in July of 2014. It saw a stylistic shift from the brighter melodic sounds of Tee-Ex to a deep, dubby and more techno inspired approach. This stirred up much hype in the progressive house underground and Subconscious Tales went on to release two EPs with Suffused Music as well as remix projects for BC2 and Mistique Music. Subconscious Tales now presents his latest EP entitled 'Arris' which includes three brand new original productions.

For all those electronic music fans that fell in love with Ivars' deep and mysterious creations the title track offers that and much more. Backed by a driving groove and rolling drums the tracks presence immediately strikes a chord. Following a short break the introduction of dubby stabs and undulating effects creates an amazing vortex of energy which drives the track into its second act. The main break furthers the late night appeal with shifty tones and a light granular haze which cooks some additional heat. A short build then summons the groove the back for an equally engaging conclusion. The second selection 'Edge' continues with the progressive techno fusion and the energy of EP rises even higher. Crisp beats along with a story board of effects and hypnotic motifs proves to be electrifying and the growling acid stabs may be the icing on the cake. The EPs third and final selection 'Ignition' carves out the funkiest groove on the release. Fueled by a multitude of rhythmic hooks and rippling bass waves the electricity rises high towards the heart of the track. A stripped down interlude adds further intrigue with rich textures and phasing soundscapes building tension for the ultimate apex. Three big productions from Subconscious Tales which should stand at the top of today's progressive techno sound.
