Alex Metric & Ten Ven - Transmission 1 EP

The collaborative duo of Alex Metric and Ten Ven have already scored a screaming success this year with the ornate awesomeness of "Otic." This past week they teamed up again, this time building a bliss-filled three part EP on Diynamic Music. Transmission 1 takes on that same sensational house ethos, ushering in three equally beautiful and brilliant slow burning bangers. Consummately crafted, each note plays its role perfectly, maintaining and magnifying the melody at the core. Like "Otic" these are not flashy, jaw droppers, but rather soul inhabiting and infecting pieces. They are undoubted floor fillers, and prime-time pleasure packers.

The lead track "The Q" is perhaps the closest to "Otic" offering up big bounces and a magical melody built around a classic feeling drum design. The follow up, "Nebula" invokes an interstellar light show with its sweet and sour synths in an epic soundscape that is sure to leave you breathless. The finale "Plates" strikes me as the grooviest, most dance-friendly track of the EP. Progressive and playful, the drum-work drives the track with the perfect amount of punch amidst its synth stabs. While both of its predecessors are strong, this may be my favourite. That said the EP is a masterclass, with not just each note playing its role to perfection, but each track the same. "The Q" eases listeners in, "Nebula" builds on the bounce, leaving you begging for more, where finally "Plates" peaks in pure ecstasy.
