4: Psyche (Eris Drew Remix)

An interesting and varied Ep from Violet which encompasses elements of tribal house, garage, breakbeats and, smothered over the top, a healthy dose of transcendentalism. Both ‘Espirito’ and ‘After Forever’ fall into the tribal category, with the former having a fuller sound than the more minimal, but percussively propelled approach of the latter. Both tunes are devilishly effective though and master builders. ‘Psyche’ goes into more woozy territory, its breakbeats creating tension alongside dense, spaced out rave injections. Eris Drew’s remix is an inventive interpretation which doesn’t stray too far from the intentions of the original, but sees it function on another separate layer of consciousness, reconfiguring it for a parallel world.
