A1 – New Members – Hexx Code [NEW002]

Contact: detectioaudio@gmail.com

If you’ve ever taken flight with a New Members record you already know what you’re in for. An artist that can divert into the darkest realms of wall sweating weapons but can so easily switch-up and ascend into the rapturous, euphoric uplifts of high-speed house and techno. Check out The Source. This techy bomb almost spirals out of control and is still twisting our head to this day. A pure and utter ripper that would take the head-top off any club. But then you have beauties like On A Wave, a lush and pulsating endeavour that weaves lucid synth-work with tantalising melodies for the peak-time dreamers. This distinctively diverse energy transmits into his sets, and you can get a full-frontal taste in his recent HÖR set where the Berlin man shelled it with a mind-altering quest through space and time.

NM returns to his self-imposed imprint with a second bag of cosmic creepers that can be fully utilised in a variety of set embers. The EP initiates with ‘Hexx Code’ (A1), a dark and twisted pulse-raiser with the bit fully between it’s teeth. Sweaty warehouse energy curtails out of this one in abundance and would fit most welcome inside the eeriest chambers of Tresor. No-nonsense club energy is the key instinct of this one and NM expertly introduces some killa breaks into the second act of this twisted techno pumper to further extend it’s robust exterior.

‘Escape Podd’ (B1) has a burning, subdued and breakzy outer-surface but is powered by a menacing, low-ebbed bass typhoon. Bubbling in paralell is some deft and dexterous drum-play that has a skippy and tenacious analogue feel to it like he’s playing it himself on a mini drum-kit. ‘What You Sayin’ (B2) completes the package with a hallowed and tainted burner. Whereas the A1 took aim into peak-time madness, this one curtails into spooky, steppy territory. Lights out business, only the tiny strobes of light beam through the smoke. Just you, alone at this point as a growing sense of solitary bewilderment begins to set in. Before hats suddenly burst back through the atmosphere once again and shift this adroitly, darker weapon back into play.
