As spring warmth begins to emerge from beneath winter’s icy shroud, Suffused Music ushers in seasonal vivacity with its continuing mission to provide listeners with vital new underground dance music. The 134th release being no exception, Russian duo, DP-6, reprise their appearance on the label with a brand new twin-track EP in the shape of “Synethesia”.
Formed at the start of the new millennium, Alexey Filin and Vadim Indigo have supplied a strong fan base with over a triple century of production credits and live performances via their DP-6 production moniker. Ever-mindful of the changing face of underground dance music, the pair have continued to evolve a sound that has trodden the well-worn path from club floor to virtual stores in impressive manner.
Able to develop a unique sound that has seen support from the world’s DJ elite while regularly featuring in Beatport charts and radio shows of the global DJ community, their own “DP-6 Presents Russian Minds” show on PureFM has highlighted a passion for curating the finest dance music into a coherent and established show.
Developed to stand as “more than just a project”, the continual hard work within the studio environment has seen DP-6 create “their own philosophy”. With over two-hundred production credits for their own DP-6 Records imprint, in addition to work for leading underground labels including Naked Lunch, System Recordings and In Fact, 2010’s remix of E-Spectro’s “I Can Describe” also found its way onto Moonbeam’s “Venus” compilation for leading mainstream trance imprint, Black Hole.
Now following up on the “Eclipse” EP in January of this year, DP-6 return to Suffused Music with the exciting “Synethesia” EP. Charting a fascinating neurological phenomenon through their music, the title track itself is a dark, brooding affair that shifts relentlessly forward through ticking percussive hi-hats and deep kick, while a smooth bass pattern flows hypnotically throughout. A delicate, twinned swirl resonates periodically, while subtle cadence shifts, intelligent melodic sequences and white noise effects, keep interest high in a work that showers aural colour over its rich sound palette.
Partner track, “Twistor Space”, continues the hypnotic subterranean depths of its predecessor as a laid back percussive groove develops effortlessly, backed by multi-faceted pad textures and imperceptible chord progressions. Using production effects to impressive effect, long reverb tails and clever delay patterns evoke aural impressions of deep space in a timeless work that revels in dynamic melodic sequences in the third and fourth movements of a near eleven-minute sonic odyssey.
Capturing the essence of the “Synesthesia” phenomenon in aural form, DP-6 continues to transcend the boundaries of modern underground dance music,
