- The ever impressive CP Recordings return back to action with a nice little EP here featuring the talents of Ebon Vs. Evan Marcus. After a fantastic debut year for the label that saw the likes of Pole Folder, Halogen and Paul Lancaster grace the label, CPR are keen to keep the ball rolling, especially with The E² EP.
First up is the Original Tribal Mix of Ebon – ‘Sleepless2’. Many of you will remember this chunky piece of work from the James Zabiela Sound in Motion mix, and it easy to see why James chose this production to feature in his mix. From the outset a nice deep baseline has the track moving while intricate tribal percussion rolls delightfully throughout. African vocal samples combine with a seductive female echo giving the track a nice eerie feel as well.
On the flip is 'Fallen' by Evan Marcus. Another very solid production, this track by Evan is quite minimal while at the same time it is quite a strong record with its crisp tribal drum patterns. Nice eerie sounds and effects help build the production towards the main breakdown which sees nice smooth synths surround an array of quirky sounds and effects.
A very nice EP by CPR which really showcases the darker and dirtier aspects of their label, compared to say earlier releases such as ‘On a Bridge’. Either way it is clear to see that there isn’t a shortage of talent at the CP headquarters.
