Give Some Back EP

by Dark Arps

supported by

D.A.O.C. Forever This album really guided me through some dark moments, yet they were somehow simultaneously uplifting. Rife with tension and optimism, I found the synth melodies to be searing. The only real source of trepidation here is the otherworldly vocal missives. A forgotten treasure, a hidden gem, loved by few but oh so deeply. Favorite track: Conspiracy Buff.

about

Deep and dramatic, Give Some Back fuses ominous chord progressions with pounding techno-breakbeats and punchy, rolling basslines. Cinematic and futuristic, the listener is guided through dark, yet uplifting movements, punctuated with menacing, other-worldly vocal missives, resolving in a wash of optimistic trepidation in the final movement. These are dark times ahead, but just maybe, everything's going to be alright.

Inland Empires is a frantic, no-holds-barred, epic progressive house track. A brooding, four-to-the-floor intro gives way to a kick-rolled breakdown/buildup, crashing you back into a fast-paced, tough and relentlessly groove-laden banger. Searing synth melodies and intelligent, emotional chord progressions see us through to the finale, all along accompanied by mysterious, lamenting vocal samples. Clean, tight and technical… it's from the future.
