Andy Line & Deep Shepherd - Cocaine in Darkness EP incl. Division One, Forest Weed, Nightbob, Pavlin Petrov [SMD199]


The 199th release on Suffused Music finds the label showcasing new interpretations of ‘Cocaine In Darkness’ by Andy Line & Deep Shepherd. Originally released in April of 2016 on the ‘Initializing, Vol. 9’ collection it's sinister moods and distinctive motifs were a standout on the compilation. Now as 2018 begins we see Suffused Music inviting Division One, Forest Weed, Nightbob and Pavlin Petrov to reinvent the track for the new year. 

Kicking the release off is Adam Weiss aka Division One who is making his label debut following strong releases on Electronic Tree and Nueva Dark. The Polish artist stays true to the vibe of the original and goes one step further with tough beats, dark electronics and spooky atmospherics. Not without emotive moments, the third act brings on a radiant finale with esoteric melodies and heartfelt chord changes.

The second interpretation of 'Cocaine In Darkness' is provided by Forest Weed who is also making his Suffused Music debut. Rafael Nebel aka Forest Weed hails from Brazil and has been pushing his unique blend of psychedelic progressive since 2014. Now presenting one of the most anticipated remixes of his career Forest takes 'Cocaine In Darkness' into driving peak time territory. Backed by a galloping groove, the framework quickly gets filled in with psychedelic designs and dark electronics. The main theme translates well, particularly during a stunning second act which is sure to captivate your dance floor.

The third interpretation of 'Cocaine In Darkness' is provided by Nightbob who is coming off a great remix for Morninglory Music. The Dutch artist makes his Suffused Music debut in style with an 'Intro' take on the track. Robotized vocals and moody bass swells set the stage as layers of drums build towards the eventual first beat. Electric yet fluid, it's a tripped out journey into synth vortexes and shifting atmospheres with the looping vocal keeping your attention locked. 

The fourth and final interpretation finds Pavlin Petrov returning to the label for his second appearance. The Bulgarian artist made his debut on the Lithuanian imprint in February of 2014 with 'Twilight' which he co wrote with sometime studio partner Hypnotic Progressions. Now making a long overdue return Pavlin brings a groovier approach to 'Cocaine In Darkness' with a swing heavy framework, new found vocal motif and mutoid modular storyboard. A superb way to cap off the release which looks set for plenty of play on the darker dance floors out there.
