UPFRONTBEATS

Joris Voorn and his Rejected label have caught wind of a rising star from the Netherlands in Mulder. The young artist released his first EP with Defected sister imprint DFTD and shaped the sound of the summer for the label. Mulder’s Rejected EP ‘Colours’ encompass’s a warm groove with some soft vocals intertwined.

Mulder’s sound palette is over flowing with warm tones and rich golden sounds, all evident on the title track. Its big, bold and funky bassline is paired with an equally dashing melody that engages the listener, and dancer, before opening out into a dreamy break and then pulling back as the beat drops and colours flow again.

Aeolus on the flip allows us to slip back into the astral realm with its warm undercurrent of bass and angelic keys. Rim shots and snares pierce through and yet never disturb or distract from the calming groove and almost otherworldy feel of this number.
