The 96th release on Suffused Music welcomes Overloque to the label for a brand new EP. The Russian artist began his production career in 2010 with a string of releases which saw an experimentation in styles. The dark depths of melodic techno were explored with releases on System Recordings and WeRecommendRecords being just some of the highlights. It left electronic music fans wanting to hear more but unfortunately 2012 was the last time we heard from the Russian producer. Suffused Music is now pleased to present the first Overloque material in almost three years. The Russian producer has been exploring his sonic palette and the result is the three track 'Trip' EP.
The release begins with the appropriately titled' 'Nightmare'. A brisk, pulsating foundation generates sizable momentum early and some unpredictable modulation brings a wonderfully warped sensibility. A short break develops a melancholic key change before the wobbly groove and effervescent electronics take centre stage once again. A tripped out second act of bubbly synths, well timed drops and fluid chord changes ups the energy a notch or two before a rousing finish of more introspective, granular designs assaults your senses. The second selection 'Shipwreck' features at similar design profile but with a much funkier and spacious foundation. Buzzing effects and tone bending hooks meld wonderfully with fanning percs and twisted lines. The end result is a sonic journey into melancholia which you won't soon forget. The EP's final selection and also its title cut 'Trip' closes the release out with a strong techno sensibility once again. Deliberate rhythms, burly melodic stabs and a wave of clattering percussion lead a mind bending first half. A stripped down second act builds dramatic tension perfectly, before a melodious conclusion of haunting pads and celestial motifs, finishes the EP off right. Three strong tracks from Overloque which are sure to have the underground talking about his long overdue return to the spotlight.
