“Genial’s new release might be a bit late this time, but they say that good things come to those who wait. For their second release, Genial present an EP from a relatively newborn duo; Archie Hamilton & Patrice Meiner. We say relatively because both of them have a strong presence in the music industry, but have only recently started to make music together.
Archie Hamilton, hailing from London, has been making steady steps in the production world with releases on labels such as Fear Of Flying, moscow recrds and Tzinah. Patrice Meiner, now based in Berlin, has started his solo career after releasing tracks as Kabuto & Koji on Viva, Cocoon and many more.
The EP opens with Antithesis; a track based around a solid groove, with delightfully liquid-sounding drums and acidic undertones. Toms, hats and tones breathe and bounce their way around the track, creating infectious hooks that keep the listener enthralled. Belgian artist Igor Vicente does an excellent job of reworking the original synths, turning the track into a more late-night affair with his psychedelic, tension-filled remix.
On the flip Comatose Commodity does exactly what it describes, by inducing the listener into a synth and drum-fueled trance. Filtered spoken-word vocals dance around the stereo spectrum, drawing one in and out of a hypnotic state. Dubsons’ interpretation of the track is in much clubbier territory; the Romanian duo turns in a thumping, dance-floor oriented piece sure to get fists pumping.
Early support from :
Valentino Kanzyani – Leon – Dani Casarano and more !!”
