REVIEW:Tom Zeta - Cargo EP out on Diynamic

10.0
Overall Score

The final Diynamic Music release of 2017 is coming: It’s called “Cargo EP” by Dutch-man Tom Zeta.

Although he has only started releasing electronic music in 2016, Tom Zeta is in no way new to it: he studied Composition and Music Technology in Utrecht to build a professional foundation for his music and to find his own sound.

Opening track “Absorption” is a strong melodic Techno track with sudden percussion intermezzos along the way. “Black Owl”’s Techno drums take you on a nightly pursuit through an abandoned metropolis. Closing off the EP is “Rhino”, a hypnotic Deep House anthem you won’t get out of your ears.

The EP title “Cargo” refers to all the small bits and pieces his tracks loaded from a journey to South Africa, where he recorded all kinds of nature and animal sounds like woodpeckers, frogs, ibis, crickets and many more, so listen closely.

Summary

Tom Zeta delivers his excellent tech house beats on his Cargo EP. On Absorption expect solid thumping grooves, bouncy tribal beats, pumping basslines and dark moody techno approach without any melodic content. Here the hypnotic rhythm and sexy grooves will involve and absorb the listeners. Black Owl has playful rhythm, thumping basslines, fat kicks, suspenseful synths, natural sound effects and cool breakdown with nice atmospheres while the climax continues with the same throbbing masculine fat beats. Lastly Rhino has distorted vocal chops upon the classic tech house groove with superb percussion content while in the breakdown big room synthy plucks raise the tension and give goosebumps landing on the full on and crowd rocking tech house spanking climax. Cool stuff. Love IT
