- The four tracks on Nico Purman's Visions EP here have an uncanny way of accumulating detail and depth. Each one starts off more or less conventionally, with an allegiance to house and more mechanoid disco. But none of them, by its end, is anything less than at least twice as busy and rich and robust. Not much changes in the sauntering, slightly laid-back house of "Home2Home," for instance, yet five minutes later and everything atmospheric is swirling and the beat is throwing punches where it was earlier just landing slaps. "It's All About" opens up a bit and reveals Purman's preternatural sense of space, with little modularized sounds streaming all over the sound-field and exposing new corners and alcoves as it trances along.
By "Kosmik" things have turned almost kosmische, though a warm and insinuating bassline keeps everything moving along—the kind of track perfect to drop when one wants to, as one often should, go deep. "Rize" finishes up with some sharp and fleet analog synth sounds arranged into more buoyant patterns, but by then Purman has already well-established the fact that he has a vision worth peering into.
