A new acquaintance at Expanding Records by the name of Praveen delivers a striking contribution to this year’s evs series. “Circle Song (Dedicated to Adam Lee)” features lead heavy beats, complex layering as well as atmospheric melodies it’s a track made for Expanding or any quality conscious label out here for that matter. It’s brilliant music that will probably not be played enough times. The flipside is even better, the ambiguously entitled “Nameless (P. Diggity Dog)” starts off as a quite regular exercise in hip-hop based electronica, but soon evolves into something decidedly different. Harshly compressed beats that gets space to move in opens up the track and delivers a sonic experience that you’ll be sure to want to relive again and again and that’s even before you get to hear the call and response melody! In one word: masterful. And even the distorted feedback noise that sounds like ground failure plays its part. Praveen is another great find by Expanding.
