Etch EP - Bodhi (Soft Computing)

 


Title: Etch EP 

Artist: Bodhi

Label: Soft Computing

Cat Number: SOFT022

Genre: Beats Into Oblivion


1: Etch

2: Jati

3: Xylette


Bodhi could have laid the foundations for ‘cocktail electro’ with ‘Etch’. The percussion drives the effect-swollen sound through an emotive hinterland which is coloured by traces of internal monologues and obliviousness. Both ‘Jati’ and ‘Xylette’ come from a similar place, but are heavier variants which use this depth of tone to leverage profound romantic evocations of the listener’s choice. They differ in tempo, with ‘Jati’ eliciting more depth of feeling due to its frictional drag, and ‘Xylette’ coming with the ravey breakbeat dopeness. Whatever the case, what Bodhi has fashioned here is a very specific take on the electronic dancefloor; one coloured by the summertime, nostalgia and losing yourself to the moment.
