For catalogue number 30, Arude returns to Radikon with 'You Sleep'. Featuring two originals and an uplifting reimagination by French producer Mark Hoffen, Arude delivers a record filled with powerful, stripped-down grooves and a wildly pitching array of beautifully engineered synths.
'You Sleep' is an exercise in the power of minimalism. A sizzling staccato bassline and a wildly modulating lead synth lay the energetic groundwork, while shimmering pads and reverb-laden vocals drench the listener in mesmerizing layers of bliss.
Arude ups the energy with 'Your Eyes'. Wildly oscillating bass hits and a powerful, impatient groove build the energy, while slowly morphing pads and a delicate lead synth create wave upon wave of melodic ecstasy.
Mark Hoffen's rendition of 'You Sleep' transforms the original into an angelic anthem. Filled with heavenly strings and a compelling chord progression, the french producer elevates 'You Sleep' to unimaginably uplifting heights.
With 'You Sleep', Arude delivers an EP that combines the supreme power of a groove stripped down to its essentials with his beautiful, signature synth work full to the brim with detune and modulation.
