Universal Solution aka Gavin Holland returns to Anjunadeep with the Bandur EP, following 2013’s sleeper hits “Yukon” and “Osheen”.
Featured on the chart-topping Anjunadeep 06 compilation, title track “Bandur” showcases the high energy side of the Universal Solution sound, fusing low end swells with a ravey vocal sample and trademark cosmic atmosphere.
“Lost Code” is a throwback to 90’s acid house, with a classic progressive twist - imagine DJ Pierre crossed with Tom Middleton. Subtle melodic flourishes ebb and flow in another intricate composition.
Closing the EP is “Wukari”, a ten minute epic through the full range of Gavin’s sounds. Beautiful cinematic soundscapes wash over an absorbing groove interspersed with sumptuous beatless moments.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is one of those labels that refreshes the house scene by pushing the boundaries and shaping its own personal sound that is easily traceable back to the strong ethics that underpin Anjunadeep. The latest EP coming on the label that matters is by the Mancunian Gavin Holland aka Universal Solution with the three tracks Bandur EP. Bandur is a wonderful magical deep progressive house jewel with rolling grooves and deep haunting basslines while chill out ambience relaxing moments are combined to allow the listener feel that he/she is on board of a sonic dream flight with its highs and lows passing from green valleys all the way to snowy mountain tops ending truly blissed out at the seaside. Lost Code for 9 minutes goes deeper, groovier with electronic synths, hypnotic acid layers, bubbly techy grooves, mouthwatering sound design with rich sound textures, sexy female voices and luscious soundscapes that you are drawn into and is pretty impossible to escape from the massive impact that those sounds have on your psyche. Can you imagine better intro track for your deep house set than this beauty? Last but not least is the equally impressive Wukari that lasts a little more than 10 minutes and worthsevery single second of it. It starts with chilling ambient into of beautiful melodies, spacey pads, cinematic dreamy atmospheres and break beats underneath. Its the kind of dark moody sound you get on drum n bass tracks by artists like Goldie. The beat kicks in along with deep haunting minimal basslines, female voices, superb percussion and drum programming while the floating electronic synths and blissful sound layers are added to wash all over you and magically involve you 100% without feeling not even for a second destructed or alone. Anjunadeep glows in the night delivering atmospheric music that some may call groundbreaking! #PureGold Love It
