Bipolar Depth - Udacha 3

  • Share
  • With its latest release, Russian label Udacha is fast proving a distinctive voice. Just like the previous two, 3 comes from a previously unknown artist—Bipolar Depth—and takes a flexible, dreamy approach to house. The lead synths in "Cammeo" feel utterly relaxed, ambling contentedly through vapourous clouds of melody, lightweight percussion tocking away in the track's bottom registers. It's an illusion, of course, but there doesn't seem to be any repetition here. "Jogger" takes a similarly freeform approach. Along with flitting synths, thickly-plucked arps are made to swim in and out of focus, filters gently coaxing them along. The record's piece de resistance is undoubtedly "Vessel." If the earlier allusions to dreaminess weren't enough, then this 11:35 journey surely will be. It seems like the perfect way to open a set: five minutes of enveloping, Biosphere-like ambient, before nimble kicks slip in underneath and the track turns into an atmospheric club cut. "Posevy" skips the beats altogether, sounding a little bit Boards of Canada in the process: childlike and nostalgic. Only loosely linked, its dusty chords and pure-sounding bells almost sound like music to ride carousels to. Like everything else on 3, it shows an unusually fluid approach to composition, each portion seguing to its neighbours as carefully as day fades to night.
