Following notable releases from Australian producer DJ Plead and Because Music’s mainstay Logic1000, Berlin-based record label Sumac gear up to issue ‘Marakame‘ LP from Viiaan.
Deeply anchored in ecstatic rhythm, Viiaan plunges into a mind-bending blackout, merging spiritual soundscapes with dubbed-out breaks and warehouse-ready Braindance further elevated with peak-time remixes from Hypercolour’s Cassius Select and visionary sound architect Siete Catorce.
Our pick is Siete Catorce‘s remix of ‘How To Heal‘, the quintessential soundtrack for a cyber-psychedelic workout in the middle of deep-rooted Mesoamerican ruins. The track opens with a digital mantra, pulsating with ultra-twisted dancehall rhythms, before evolving into puzzling synth oscillations, FX-laden textures and ambient rainforest recordings. As it progresses, ‘How To Heal‘ unveils shades of experimental dubstep, poised to captivate dancefloors in the near future.
‘Marakame’ is scheduled for release on 11 October via Sumac. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
