Some goodness from the Sleep D label, butter sessions. It’s interesting to me they classify this as a mix of prog house and techno. It may be, but it’s trancey AF.


Label promo:
Long-time friend of the label Fader Cap returns to Butter Sessions with a potent four-track EP ‘Blue Pool’. First appearing as Sedgwick on our 10 years of BSR compilation, Fader Cap has since released music on Craigie Knows and his own Straight 2 It Recordings.

Connecting the dots between progressive house and techno, the four tracks on ‘Blue Pool’ maintain an infectious energy, with pumping drums and plenty of space for contemplative synth work to keep the body moving and brain tingling. The rolling, dub-wise basslines set the foundations for intricate sound design and tripped-out sequences that provide that sweet head high we’re chasing. Let your mind wander as you float away into the blue pool.

Last time I felt something like this, occurred when I listened to Leftfield's iconic album. The dubby bass elements make this very tasty. Perfect as it is. Nothing to add. Can't wait for the rest of the EP to follow!

What kind of trance is this? It’s not deep trance but sounds deep in a way. Almost ambient trance, but not ambient too. I don’t know how to describe it. I like the track a good lot

Blue Pool starts out as one track, finishes as almost a new track. Love that, we very rarely hear it. The other tracks are very good too, but Blue Pool takes the cake for me.

Blue Pool still the special one in this release, that second half is magic. 1080 Beach is nice house too. Every track in the EP sonically is very nice.
