ESOK - Lavender (Single) [Rune Recordings]

[SaltAcidFatHeatAcid]

Big ups to @erickUO for getting this one released finally! Such a gorgeous track, as is the freebie remix included with the release. Looking forward to more releases from you mate. This was in the EOY mix last year on here. Cheers. Milky Way next please

Nice tracks. I always keep an eye on Rune for new tracks, together with Morphosis Records the have very solid progressive breaks.

 

[Daysleeper]

Good job. There is some nice moments in these and overall well made.

The thing with breaks and similar isolated "smaller" subgenres in this realm (dnb etc etc) is that its hard to stick out and break free of the limitations and the sampled loopy repetitiv nature of the style. You can def hear the influences from the late90s to late 2000s dreamy prog breaks style.

You did it quite well here but i wouldve prefferred even more variation to the actual drums and rhytmic schemes/dynamics. Easy to say and maybe not a valid critique as the style doesnt really "need" it. The melodies/angelic pads etc are fine and nice but really doesnt stick out to me.

7/10

Thanks guys

@erickUO I completely overlooked this one from you. Excellent work, really had no idea you were producing at this level. Definitely one of the bets prog-break tracks I heard this year (Lavender). LimeTime is good too. We have to release something together in 2025!!!

Thanks
I hope I can finish something next year. Got too many abandoned WIPs atm

The synth that comes in midway through lavender is fucking sick. The mood you created is dope dude.

 

[Freezer]

Both very nice, slightly prefer the remix actually, has a more melodic feel and nice vibe

Wow very good Erick. You have the trance-breaks style really well done.
