Dutchman Derick Banks is next up to the plate on Copyright Recordings, delivering his debut release which features two afro inspired cuts laden with fuzzy synths and nimble drums. ‘Voodoo’ is the darker of the two with its spellbinding melodic hook and guttural chants. ‘Masuke’ builds throughout, drawing to a climax as the drums and soaring melody unite. What’s evident is that, in a world of overproduced, gimmicky dance music, both cuts are surprisingly reserved and refreshingly stripped back, letting the expertly crafted elements speak for themselves.
