Casting its net far and wide, from Australia to Finland, via the UK and Tunisia, One Eye Witness%u2019 maiden VA drop gathers a quartet of the international producers who%u2019ve come to pique our interest in recent months.
Starting with Tunis-based up-and-comer HearThug, who steps up with %u201CAlien All Too Alien%u201D - a steadily pulsatory, 303-marinated dasher interlarded with flocks of pugnacious talk box stabs and rattling drums, making it a proper DJ-friendly weapon for any hour of the day. Helsinki%u2019s Jeku follows up with the tribal acid churner %u2018Aftermath%u2019, laying down a sleek, sub-heavy earworm prepped on submerging systems from under the deepest layers of the spectrum with its fluttering melody, sturdy basswork and FX-laden synthesis.
Flip the coin over and here goes London-based groove manipulator Sohrab, entering the melee with %u2018Ataraxia%u2019 - a hypnotic slice of stealth mode, Gaussian-blurred dub techno that does exactly what%u2019s written on the tin. The final number %u2019Surrender%u2019 comes courtesy of rising Sydney-based producer Cousin, who treats us to a tripped-out ethereal riddim making the rounds betwixt the vaporous serenity of ambient and deep dub vibrations. The endearing final brushstroke to OEW%u2019s first Zeitgeistian snapshot.
