REVIEW: [sic] - Venus/Loki out on mu-sic

1-Venus
2-Loki

It's release number four on Bristol producer [sic]'s own label and after the deep and moody vibes of mu-sic#03 (Protect and Serve) it's time for something a little bit cheeky.

As soon as you hear the bassline on 'Venus' you know you're in for a bouncy ride. Dark stabs accompany a swirling brigade of FX sweeps and percussion as slowly but surely that catchy flute hook arrives...and once it drops there's no turning back. Fun, naughty and infectious, 'Venus' is an ideal peak time track.

On the flip-side, 'Loki' offers a darker workout yet with all the bounce and energy of 'Venus'. From the off you're presented with a vigorous falling bassline, bleeps and heavily swung percussion, but it's the sinister sweeping synths fighting against reverbed claves that really help this tune stand out. A subtle yet impactive breakdown and drop never lets the energy wane...'Loki' is a deliciously wonky late night roller.

Support for previous [sic] tracks: Dubfire, Nick Warren, Sonny Wharton, Pig and Dan, Chris Fortier, Jody Wisternoff, Paolo Mojo and more. 



Dimitri Kechagias review:  [sic]'s latest EP on his own imprint mu-sic will definitely stand out from the rest for several reasons. Venus is bouncy techno track with house references, old school beats and basslines, cool synthy melodies in the background that add a sci-fi edge to it, chopped vocal samples, and dark vibes all over.  Loki is all about keeping the dancefloor very happy and extremely satisfied with driving basslines, chunky grooves, funky playful electronic melodies and excitement building sound effects. If you like techno bouncers that can be easily played in tech house sets these two track will work in both contexts. Check it!
