Villem & Phase 'The Traveller' (Meth XX)

A fascinating track from an EP that also includes shimmering vocal offerings from Steo and McLeod. The title track’s dreamy atmospheres mask the punch of a stepping tech brooder until the fronds are stripped away, leaving us suddenly with the full force of a bassline that twists into myriad shapes, stretching the system to its limit. It’s the sort of tune that can only be fully appreciated in a club, as the low-end pyrotechnics morph continually, subtly and devastatingly along with the break patterns, which develop into a more rolling affair the longer the track goes on.

9/10
