Embryonik’s new EP

Embryonik

This Friday sees the release of Embryonik’s new EP ‘Skyscraper on binalog productions.

Containing three three original tracks and five choice reMixes the EP is an evocative, synthetic, audio journey through a dark metropolis. Kicking off with ‘Watergun’, a track that bleeds Italo into B-Boy Electro, the listener is already presented with the soundtrack to rain soaked, neon lit, future streets. Like the dark cousin of Italo, ‘Watergun’ presents Vangelis-esque atmospheres with EBM basslines. The mood continues into ‘Elevator’, a track with a soaring melody that seems to tell a story set against machine beats. This track in particular contains some really sweet synthesizer flourishes. ‘Burning Bridges’ ends the original tracks in a reflective future Disco style. ‘80’s Italo forms the backbone for strings and racing leads to lift you out of the concrete oppression. Whether or not it was intended, there is a definite narrative feel to the EP, a trilogy of tracks that take you by the hand through a post BladeRunner cityscape. The reMix package is worth the price alone, our friend Jordan F provides the standout mix of ‘Elevator’, a laid back, uplifting antidote to the original’s doom and gloom, maybe injecting a little romance into Embryonik’s gritty Sci-Fi flick.
