Chino – Duch EP

Hailing from Upper Silesia - a mining area where heavy industry inspires heavy grooves - Chino has mastered the art summoning the spirits that inhabit machines to seek their aid in unearthing raw beauty from underneath thick layers of aural rubble. The title track - "Ghost" ("Duch" - in Polish) blends all the right ingredients of classic electro with the young producer's trademark sounds. The track shifts, twists, and turns as it progresses, all the while keeping tension at fever pitch. "Rooftop" is much like a breath of fresh air upon leaving a mine shaft. Bright, captivating synths are laid over a pumping bassline (big up Eltron John!) all to a much-invigorating effect. The flip holds remixes by Murphy Jax, who put together an upbeat italo-house version with a melody to suck you in immediately, as well as XAMIGA (Legowelt & Xosar), who close things off with a mesmerizing deep-sea journey.
