'Argentinian DJs and producers Alejo Gonzalez and Max Blade collaborate with this fine three-tracker on Nick Warren's superb The Soundgarden imprint. The guys famously teamed up previously to remix Nick & Guy Mantzur's Sad Robot for Bedrock, and here make their full debut EP as artists.
The title track 'Universal Soul' is an infectious arpy affair, full of emotion, as big pads surround the driving soundscape, adding heartwarming depth to this peak time gem.
'Avalon' is a punchy and melancholic track, with crisp beats and an undulating arpeggiator flowing throughout, but with a melody that bounces around.
'Sunday' rounds off this tasty EP, and is a bubbling and brooding workout, full of swagger and with a sophisticated coolness, as its deeper edges unfurl their musical magic.'
