DIRT 116EP
|
The OUER guys just live down the road from Dirt Crew in Berlin and they now present a full EP of the duo's work. Since their debut on Heist in 2016, Xaver and Oliver have consistently pushed their sound and production. The A side opens with "Stingray Nebula", a composition of layered arpeggios underlined by a deep sub bass, "Undine", the second track, is a great mix of deep house and electronica. The beautiful "Thales" contains live bass and percussive instrumentation and is a crossover indie-tronica gem. "Inside" is a piano-themed house jam; "Train Ride to Bratsk" is real ambient electronica.

HEIST 016EP
|
180-gram 12". Berlin-based duo Ouer follow their self-released 2015 debut with The First Detour. With a compact collection of synths and drum machines and a fair level of distortion, they succeed in creating their own sound with hints of classic electronic music from Chicago and Detroit. Opener "The Ascent" is the EP's most driving track, while fans of classic Motor City Drum Ensemble will love the dreamy DX7-style chords and cracking acid lines of "Show Off." "Move Over" features some lovely solo work on the synths, and "Mess Around" goes down in similar free-ride style with more lovely sampling.
