about

Subliminal is very clearly a club record. A series of tracks in the 150/160 BPM range, anchored in a 4/4 rhythm, full throttle. Containing very few melodic elements, this is an EP anchored in the strength of rhythm. On the one hand, there is a certain familiarity with Chicago Footwork, mainly in the prevalence of certain rhythmic elements such as snare drums and the use of sliced vocal samples. On the other hand, there are also reminiscences of a certain rave aesthetic, such as punctual breaks, or basses that sometimes appear either more “subby” or more “trancy”. But let's break this down. “Pra Tirar” opens the EP with the combination of a very raw rhythmic pattern, marked by the presence of restless snare drums, with a two-note trancy bass. From time to times a break punctuates and animates the pattern. In “Jump That” the rhythmic complexity expands through the insistence on triplets. Different snare drums and sidesticks populate the rhythm that transforms around a continuous and persistent sub. The voice sample is multiplied into different slices and retriggers, which, due to the triplet sequencing, end up giving the sensation of being out of sync sometimes. “Downdale” was the track that sold us the record! Repeated snare drums and the insistence on a 4/4 boomin kick replacing the bass. Simple and efficient. “Get Down” is also driven by voice samples and their multiple slices, combined with intricate rhythmic patterns. Footwork madness in full force. “I Need What” is the most contrasting theme, as it is not based on a clear “4 to the floor”. The aesthetic here is closer to electro, with the broken kicks and the snare drum appearing on every upbeat. The bass has a lot of modeling in the filter envelope in order morphing the track which is also built around different slices of the vocal samples. A contrasting change of energy evidencing a necessary slowdown that heralds the end of a very sweaty journey. BLEID is Rave Royalty!
