With the sixth release on onformrecords comes a brand new three-tracker filled with a genuine Balearic-Renaissance uplifting vibe, sonically pleasing to the ears and we love it!
“Hollow” is OPR8's debut release on our label and it packs a real punch with its gentle whispering tones layered on solid drums and a killer bass line,The synth line and xylophone sample really compliment this track which takes a totally different direction with the surprising drop a quarter of the way through that adds another layer to this well crafted piece of dance floor magic
“Fading” has a real sense of euphoria and reminds us of the early years of Ibiza, With the buzzy arpeggiated synth that playfully flows over a hench bass line, Distant strings play out in the background whilst delayed claps and clever effects really push this track forward
“Caramel” feels really light but has a real depth of quality in its production with its cosmic pads and melodic percussion, the spoken old school reggae sample really compliments this track especially when the clap hits giving it a real-time forward moving vibe and a sense of raw emotion completing this gem of a an EP that was mainly made on hardware and mixed down in Ableton.
