With the ability to scout talented artists within and beyond its Lithuanian borders, fellow countryman, Eugene Loner, once more returns to the label that saw his debut on the "Initializing 2014" compilation with "Microcosmos". A pair of original EPs have subsequently followed and it is with great pleasure that Suffused Music now sees a third outing for the popular debut release, backed by a trio of exciting remixes.
Fans of Loner and "Microcosmos" will immediately recognize the clave percussion opening that pings across the stereo spectrum in dizzying fashion while a rich bass line provides a dark undertone. A chorus of additional production material in the shape of pads and effects add to the aural mélange as a searing acetylene lead punches its way to the fore backed by a subtle arpeggio riff.
Indian based, Greg Tomaz is first up on remix duties. Lofty ambitions to use music "as a way of bringing light into one's consciousness" supply Tomaz's musical raison d'être and with work featured on such celebrated imprints as Soundteller, Stripped and Balkan Connection South America, his approach to production has borne much fruit. Now remixing Eugene Loner, Tomaz's approach immediately echoes the original with a stripped back treatment of the "Microcosmos" clave percussion, enriched by a shuffling, syncopated hi-hats that revel in a pounding beat and side-chained bass line. The dark energy of the original is omnipresent as an intelligent reworking of arpeggio treatment brings subtle emphasis shift to a work of poise.
Mexican producer, Altek, is a Suffused Music debutant imprint. A prolific producer since the last quarter of 2014, a half-century of Beatport productions credits have led the South American to a plethora of impressive labels that include Green Martian, Bonzai Progressive and Four Peas. An active 2016 now sees Altek impress with a downtempo approach to "Microcosmos". Retaining the strong lead line of the original at regular intervals, a sensual bass line ripples through a near ten-minute voyage of texture and precise percussive cadence. Loner's arpeggio sequence features post-breakdown adding a further layer in an interesting remix.
A final offering sees Singapore and Bangalore based, Aman Anand, return to Suffused Music for the first time since a remix of Ethereal Mist in 2014. An artist of considerable pedigree, the self-taught producer has found himself allied to some of the finest modern underground labels that include Balkan Connection, OLD SQL and the Indian based, Juice Box Music. Furthermore, a contribution to the "Sudbeats III" compilation via "Raikou" in 2015 stamped a hallmark of quality on a career with a rapidly rising upwards trajectory. Supported by such luminaries as Cattaneo, Pappa and Secret Cinema, the Aman Anand treatment of "Microcosmos" is a strong, shimmering reworking that captures the sentiments of Eugene Loner's original through percussive echoes while adding a dominant beat and generous additional production material. Meandering melodic sequences wend their path with consummate ease and the resulting, skillful work epitomizes the ‘less is more' mantra.
A trio of new remixes from Greg Tomaz, Altek and Aman Anand have illustrated that Eugene Loner's "Microcosmos" is expanding at an exponential rate.
