Otherwise Records presents Maybe Less, a new EP from Brazilian artist Spectral Sun, the project of DJ and producer Jhonatan Mandato. Featuring two original tracks - 'Maybe Less' and 'Phone Call' - the release explores the Tech House landscape with a direct approach, while maintaining a refined curation of timbres and careful attention to spatial dynamics.
The title track builds on precise percussive layers and subtle variations in low-end dynamics, paving the way for a steady groove, driven by a near-spoken vocal sample over a dense structural base. 'Phone Call', in contrast, leans into a more fragmented rhythmic design, with synths that nod to the best of 90's and 00's house, punctuated by abrupt cuts that evoke a sense of interrupted communication - all grounded by a steady pulse built for the dancefloor.
With Maybe Less, Spectral Sun continues his pursuit of a sound that balances technical precision with deliberate creative choices. The EP enters the Otherwise catalog as a work that favors restraint and clarity, sustaining a dialogue between the dancefloor and the attentive listener, attuned to texture and arrangement.
