Lonya - Obscurity
One of Israel's favorite artist Lonya, returns to Sudbeat with three tracks of sheer delight. As well as returning here, Lonya's work has graced Darkroom Dubs, Plattenbank, Selador and Parquet, alongside his own excellent imprint Asymmetric.
We begin with the title track 'Obscurity' and all of its enigmatic melancholic goodness. We are treating to whirling synth top line that thrills and locks you in, as it squelches and rasps, but with an air of sophistication, while Lonya's crisp percussion, and spacious production allows the track to breath, creating a tension and alluring elegance. Deep and deadly.
Moving forward, we find 'The Girl From Raanana'. A mysterious and fantastical deep voyage, as we are signposted by infectious percussion, while sweeping moody pad like sounds swoosh around, while the blippy bass adds an air of mystery. This gem subtly builds and develops it meanders through your mind as the big synth line powerfully increases the temperature.
Picking up the pace with have 'The Verge'. Punchy beats, a solid kick and a stompy bassline set up stall here,and mean business from the off. The bass develops and expands, delivering a powerful dance floor creation to send you wild. Melodious layers compliment as they stack on top, as the anticipation increases and sets the pulse racing.
