REVIEW: PROFF & 8Kays - Arcology out on Zerothree


One of the most integral artists to Zerothree returns with a slightly different take on his fantastic progressive direction; PROFF the hugely respected superstar teams up with another REALPROG favourite 8Kays – This is “Arcology”.

PROFF’s masterpiece EP “Misidentified” early in 2017 via Zerothree saw support far and wide and continues to be heavily supported, a culmination of hard work, focus and inspiration. 8Kays who featured on #REALPROG V.3 brings a more underground, techno influence to the project with a string of superbly crafted releases under her own belt.

“Arcology” grooves, uplifts and stays true to the #REALPROG mantra.

This is PROFF, This is 8Kays and This is “Arcology”

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]For me the #REALPROG mantra means staying true to the origins of progressive that is all about forward-thinking production techniques and experimenting with melody and styles in order to come forward with something new. The latest release by the well known PROFF and 8Kays manage to pass the standards and come up with unique arrangement that slowly builds with chunky crunchy grooves, nice drums with fantastic rhythm and slowly the synthy lines added along with some cool ethereal female voices that add sweetness, tenderness and even signal carefree summery atmosphere. The build up leads to the feel good climax that has all the urge and dynamism to make even the most bored fat customer start tapping feet and head for the beginning. Don't ask what will happen after as we can not guarantee nothing. With Arcology all the possibilities are wide open! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
