CADENZA 120EP
|
Shimza, one of South-Africa's shining talents, makes his return to Cadenza with Eminence. The vibrating drums and persistent arpeggios of "Eminence" make for a captivating peak-time anthem. "Dancefloor Keeper", the slick trance-inspired stabs and permeating bassline expose its ominous nature. Shimza expresses his creative flare with "Kunye"; a hypnotic cut that blends the spirit of futuristic synth wave with the soul of African tribalism. "Warrant For Arrest" is a charged number, driven by a snappy compressed kick drum and chiming sequences. "MSC" is a euphoric gem that flows with expressive phrases and evolving synth pads. Features Kususa.

CADENZA 115EP
|
Shimza (Ashley Raphala) is one of South Africa's brightest young talents. "Congo Congo" is a dark ride over abysmal tom-tom drums, lively percussions, and a gloomy bass lead, ignited dramatically by wide synthetic stabs and chords. In the "Dub Mix", the drums and percussion become lighter. "Secret Melodies" starts with an obscure bass line, but the intense twist of fractioned rolls and arpeggios bring an ascending piano progression that quickly blooms into an uplifting symphony. "Selector" keeps the gaze on the dancefloor: hand clapping and a cloud of low frequencies bumps unexpectedly drag its hypnotic harmonies into a breath-taking drop.
