[item value="10"]Black 8 - Lunar EP [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Black 8 enter the realms of the quality progressive label Afterglow Records of the fellow Greek Elef with his stunning Lunar EP. Two incredible tracks that scream to get plays and inclusions in the progressive sets this summer. Lunar is mysterious 120 BPM deep progressive house tribal basslines, pulsating kicks, punchy percussion cinematic airy harps, moody synthy undertones leading to the long melancholic breakdown that builds nicely the suspense and anticipation for the incredible climax when the siren like synthy hook carries the track away like a really dangerous snake ready to attack who ever may disturb it. The second track goes the deep 124 BPM melodic house & techno direction called Bayek Of Siwa with chunky grooves, deep minimal basslines, psy trance infused acid layers and Middle East exotic type of synthy melody in truly hypnotic direction. Two very subliminal tracks with purity, longevity and exceptional atmosphere. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
