This EP lands through ProgRAM.
There is a new EP arrival on Ram Records’ sister label. Cleverly constructed and another chance to get to know Skantia, the producer presents Unorthodox.
Eagle-eyed drum and bass fans will have caught his “See The Sun” making an appearance on the 2018 Ram compilation. A distinctive cut with acute attention to detail, we’re glad he is back with more new music.
The Unorthodox EP consists of three exceptional cuts. He allows the title track to act as an introduction to the set, and it comes out firing. Suspense is racked up on an atmospheric opening, before whipping out electro riffs and darting rhythms.
There is something effortlessly sharp about “Run.” It keeps up the pace set by “Unorthodox” but takes things to a more simplistic, bass-driven level. Crisp and punchy, it creates an immersive complete sound.
The final track on the EP is the more frenzied “Slapstik.” Designed to hit the dance floor hard, Skantia opts for a focus on low-end synths and patched edits.
Unorthodox is fantastic in its variety and style. Showing he is able to switch freely between themes, Skantia sets up for a successful 2019 with this release.
