Overloque - Satellite EP [SMD170]

Veteran Russian producer Overloque returns to Suffused with the ‘Satellite’ EP marking the 170th release for the label. Well known for his avant garde approach to techno production, Overloque offers up a lively and melodic array of tunes ranging from pulsating and enveloping tones to deep and introspective selections. Starting off the EP is ‘Healing’, a deep tech laden track with intricate percussion and subtle sonic washes nestled in the background which create a perfect backdrop for Overloque’s interesting synth elements to coalesce with. ‘Healing’ is filled with complex textures that progress wonderfully through the course of the tune and the overarching theme is simply beautiful. Next in line is the title track ‘Satellite’. Overloque explores the realm of melodic techno with an energetic and throbbing foundation that quickly unfolds into gorgeous filtered pads that rise into the initial break while a percolating lead sequence drives the track into full swing.  Tension continues to build into the main breakdown as the meticulously crafted elements begin to synergize, artfully flowing into an unforgettably epic theme.  ‘Satellite’ is stunning overall and will definitely be a favorite in the underground this year. The EP’s third track ‘Lone Traveler’ follows Overloque’s vision for experimentation as elaborate percussive elements and curious electronics create a melancholy soundscape. A wobbly synth line surrounded by glassy pads ebb and flow throughout while a menagerie of captivating sounds enter at key moments, weaving a lavish tapestry of sonic ear candy. Finally, ‘At the Bottom’ features a more organic groove with processed guitar plucks, a picked bassline and swinging hats. The track is deep and funky while maintaining a melodic flavor with its interjecting pads, modulated synths and ethereal stabs.
