Returning for its tenth instalment, Eelke Kleijn’s ‘Nocturnal’ album series hosts three new scintillating cuts on DAYS like NIGHTS for ‘Nocturnal 010’. Opening with ‘Membrane’ by No Hopes & Andrey K, the producers combine elements of disco and house to exude a hedonistic atmosphere. Combining rhythmic percussion and alluring synths, Rob Hes and Paralel team up for a deep collaboration, ‘Figures’. Closing the EP with Wassu’s ‘Like That’, whispering vocals and keys are met by groovy percussion, resulting in a magnetic, club-ready cut.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Eelke Kleijn curates the 10th installment of his Nocturnal album and three incredible tracks are offered for the fellow DJs as exclusives to play. Membrane’ by No Hopes & Andrey K is an excellent slice of melodic driving progressive house with synths and piano chords to create a flirting sensual carefree moment on any dancefloor. Figures by Rob Hes and Paralel adopts deep pulsating minimal basslines, chunky kicks and cool percussion while on top various organic synthy riffs and vocal snippets are added to create a very exotic Middle East flavoured atmosphere. Lastly Wassu’s incredible ‘Like That’ goes the more relaxing smooth direction with groovy percussion, deep pulsating basslines and fantastic piano chords, vocal snippets and sensual voices leading on the mysterious cinematic breakdown leading to its floating climax with edgy playful sounds. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
