Its techy groove and tight percussion make this dance floor focused cut perfect for peak time plays.'In Maluta' is made in collaboration with Rodham, and its dark and stripped back sound creates the feeling of wide open space. Washed in effects, the twisted vocal samples fade into the shadows whilst the tribal style percussion fills the main break with suspense.Moving focus to a chugging bassline overplayed with some hard hitting percussion, 'In Between' changes the energy of the EP whilst also maintaining an atmospheric vibe. Somewhere between tech house and deep techno, its compelling vocal adds captivating suspense to the surrounding dark textures.
