- Since day one this Portugeese imprint has consistantly put out refreshing music on a underground tip from the likes of Minilogue ,ADF, Moshic, Nikki B & Christian Effe and now on their seventh release Feed me records introduce us to Russian Duo Moonbeam. The Raven Gipsy EP comes with two original tracks along with a tasty rehash from Chris Micali.
First up is Raven Gipsy which comprises of funk tinged bassline and tech house percussion that begin to set the flow while interspersed with tweaked spacial sounds.While this is taking place slight rhythmic changes and sublte development of the melody keep up the groove. As things progress the tech angle is kept up with constant working of tepid synthlines along with a neat spoken word vocal.
Next comes Air which is possibly the most exciting track blending pulsating basslines with eriee meldioc undertones that ease the emotion forward before breaking down briefly, and rolling on with a warm, atmospheric vibe. This isnt rocket science but sometimes its the simplist ideas that can be the best - Dark tech beats with all the feeling behind a progressive number locked up inside.
The remix falls in the hands of Chris Micali who takes parts of the original 'Raven Gipsy' and starts by chunkin' up the beats,gradually building up percussive elements and adding lengthy delayed fx that seem to bubble underneath as the track begins to blossom . Midway through the pace is kept at maximum as constant sounds lurk in the backround as ever so slowly an hypnotic synthline filters up and re-enforces the energetic groove.
