[item value="10"] Rafael Osmo - Ringer, Privacy , Permit EP[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Rafael Osmo is an exceptional artist with long back catalogue and releases on the most prolific record labels. Three brilliant tracks are included on this Vandit Alternative release called Ringer,Privacy,Permit. Ringer is a stunning production with punchy kicks, disco sounding basslines, thumping drums and superb melancholic breakdown revealing stunning piano melody leading in the climax that this great melody in true anthemic way carry the listeners away and energize them too. Privacy is dark pounding progressive stormer with haunting synths, spoken vocal samples, long breakdown with dystopian synthy themes followed by tough bass focused section and finishing off by bringing up the dark memorable synth layer to give you endless amounts of goosebumps. Lastly Permit goes for dark serious progressive house with pulsating basslines, pounding drums and dystopian cold melodies. Anthemic with playful elements and danceable groove that ignite the listener on the dancefloor Rafael offers 3 winning entries in one EP. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
