Outstrip – These Days EP

Fabio Gianelli’s District Raw Recordings offers ‘These Days’ from Outstrip this February comprising three original tracks from the Ukrainian duo.

Denis Borisov and Anton Sever aka Outstrip have been releasing since 2010, dropping material via the likes of Stil Vor Talent, Rejected and Highway Records whilst hosting a weekly radio show Kiss FM, Ukraine, and holding residencies at Kievs Forsage, Saxon and Mantra clubs. Here, the pair follow recent District Raw output from Dakpa and Mountain Family.

Title cut ‘These Days’ opens up the EP and sees Outstrip offer up a contemporary slice of hypnotic house music led by bumpy swinging rhythms, a stab-led bass hook and meandering pads. ‘ID15’ follows, tipping the rhythmic focus over to organic percussive sounds while ghostly synth tones snake around the penetrating sub bass overtones.

‘Humanity’ rounds off the release with Outstrip displaying a deeper side to their productions, fuelling the composition with soft chord sequences, spoken word vocal murmurs and warbling pad lines.

Outstrip’s ‘These Days’ is out on District Raw Recordings 9th February 2015.
