Jerro - Pantheon

Lane 8's label This Never Happened has quickly become a go-to source for soulful, deep and progressive house. Over the few years of its existence it has introduced countless artists and given rise to some sublime singles. Belgium's Jerro, seemingly one of Lane 8's favourites as his tracks appear in most Lane 8 mixes, has just authored his second This Never Happened EP, Pantheon.

This four part EP builds on the success of awesome April debut The Fool, offering breathless and blissful beauty in its title track, magical souring synths in its midsection and a captivating killer cut, "Coil" at its close. "Pantheon" simply screams This Never Happened, and I'm totally here for it. Its power lies in the fact that it could easily be played acoustically while retaining its resplendent refinement. Warmth is the word that comes to mind when "HYE" hits my ears, while it too succeeds through a soulful grace and refinement. The following track "Lido" seems to straddle the previous two. It's like a beautiful sunrise, sending its radiance over the horizon while casting shadows to create a lush, picturesque panorama. Finally "Coil," the most powerful of the EP, sends you into said scene soaring through the hyper-real and incredibly cool environment. A peak time record for sure, the progression in "Coil" and in turn, Pantheon as a whole are a thing of magic. Stream it all below and get it now here.FOLLOW JERRO: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
