Benjamin Philippe Zulauf's is back on his record label Hummingbird by BPZ, which is a deep tech imprint that orientates around raw, stripped-back and atmospheric grooves.
Alongside two original tracks, the release also features a remix by Perseus Traxx who's a UK artist known for his analogue production style and timeless tracks on respected labels such as Boe Recordings, Horn Wax, M>O>S Recordings, I Love Acid, Chiwax, and more.
"Kosmiche" opens the release with its chunky percussion and deep chords that add poignant emotion to the track's bumping groove. "Sentient Symmetry" is an electro-tinged track that has 808 percussions layered with a thickset bassline and soothing pad sounds. Perseus Traxx's remix of "Sentient Symmetry" adds ambient vocal textures and a new bassline, which combines with chopped-up sections of the pads from the original to create a jackin' groove.
This release is supported by Laurent Garnier, Axel Boman, Carl Craig, Slam, Colin Dale, Eduardo De La Calle, Darko Esser, Vince Watson, Mano Le Tough, Kmyle, Takaaki Itoh, John Heckle, Placid, Echoplex and Jon Hester.
