Indigo Child – Head First EP

  • Share
  • Indigo Child is Turkish producer Yunus Guvenen, who’s release on Bedrock Records earlier this year had to rate as one of the finest release in the last year or so. This time he makes an appearance on Silver Planet Recordings with his Head First EP with two new tracks to add to his impressive Discography. Underwater is on the a-side and this is where the EP shines for me. The track builds in the early stages with some impressive intricate drum patterns as well as some high-end sounds and effects that set the mood early on. Not before long, Yunus is working his magic yet again, with unique melodic structures and a beautiful uplifting vibe. The breakdown midway is a shining example of the beautiful sondscapes Yunus in capable of, with a stunning goosebump melody and lovely broken beats. The track then lifts up another notch with the drums coming back into it in full force, while the bubbly synths step up a level. Don’t be fooled, this is definitely one of Yunus’ finer moments. While Take a Breath of You on the flip may not be as impressive as Underwater (in my opinion), it still is definitely a great production. It is perhaps a little chunkier on the face, but the melodic patterns early on have a mid 90’s progressive feel to them, a feature that is magnified in the breakdown midway in, further magnified by the addition of deep emotive strings. Who knows, many will probably prefer this production to the a-side, as it is another stellar piece of work by the Turkish master. If Progressive music with a strong edge of melody is right up your alley, then I see no reason why this release shouldn’t be added to your collection. For fans of Yunus’ Invasion EP, this is quite simply a must purchase.
