UPFRONTBEATS

Sound Of Vast returns this October with a collaborative EP From San Proper, Hreno and The Mole, plus Tom Trago joining the crew on title-track ‘Friendly Tears’.

The Sound Of Vast imprint, headed up by Knock and Red Pig Flower has over the years carved out quite the reputation, with an impressive back catalogue featuring material from the likes of Cosmin TRG, Vid/Egal3, Soichi Terada and The Jaydes amongst others. Here though we see San Proper and The Mole make a welcome return to the imprint, this time round joining forces with Hreno for a three track EP from the powerhouse trio.

Leading on the package is ‘Friendly Tears’ which features yet another leading figure in the house scene, Dekmantel regular Tom Trago, as you’d expect from such an impressive array of artists we’re treated so soul drenched house driven by swinging organic drums, infectious funk licks and hooky synth lines before the ‘Chunkless Mix’ strips things back a little, laying focus solely on the 80’s tinged synth work, delayed vocal murmurs and minimalistic percussion.

‘On The Floor’ then rounds out the package, retaining a similar aesthetic with choppy guitar melodies, penetrating bass stabs, crunchy rhythms and resonant arpeggio synths ebbing and flowing dynamically throughout.

San Proper, Hreno & The Mole’s ‘Friendly Tears’ is out on Sound Of Vast 22nd October 2018.
