Jickow's recent run of form continues with a dark and driving new EP on BluFin Records.
This stylish two tracker kicks off with Gökotta, a deep rolling techno cut that comes live with some epic synth work. The bright chords flash over the rooted drums then fall away to reveal a spine tingling female vocal. It's a dramatic cut that will make for plenty of memorable moments. Ubuntu then sets off on another spritely groove with theatrical pads and thunderous claps. It's one to get hands in the air with its subtle trance vibes.
These are two more well designed and fresh cuts from Jickow.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Jickow presents on BluFin two incredible cuts of high quality melodic techno that will crossover to trance DJ sets as well. Gökotta is a magnificent dark track with moody basslines and most importantly top synthy plucks with awesome melodies that recall for instance themes of well known raves like Mayday. Superb composition with intensity, atmosphere, superb ethnic voices and climax to blow your senses. Equally cinematic and mysterious is Ubuntu. Slowly driving pulsating basslines with suspenseful strings and old school synthy hooks while in the breakdown dark haunting voices in the breakdown contemplate well the main synthy theme and the fantastic little synths delivering that hypnotic outcome. To say brilliant is understatement. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
