The HEJ Pioneers deliver the second installment of a digital only series, featuring four tracks from label owners PUNISHER ( Michelle Herrmann ) and JOHN OVERFIEND. PUNISHER (Detroit) begins with “Undertow”, a track that is constantly in motion. Acid sounds shift and pivot through the shuffled beats that are washed over by droning voice samples and fluttering pitched bongos. Deep bellowing bass floods through the mix as new levels of percussion echo into the depths. Michelle's "Dimb" is stripped down with minimal tribal clicks and claps that merge into a simple yet lush infectious melody. The steaming hiss and ambient keys build in the breakdowns before the sassy bass drops. JOHN OVERFIEND takes you on a journey with "Man From Space" infused with haunting effected vocals stretched and delayed in every direction. Swanky analog blips and pumping synth bass is unleashed as the track builds into a frenzy of movement. John's next gem, "Call That One Blue" has a unique ominous feel with layered otherworldly synth tones and twisted funky bass. The chopped up staggered primal vocal snippets, and driving swirled percussion drop hard after the intense breaks, highlighted with a tripped out intro and outro perfect for mixing. With mastering by Tim Xavier, the sound quality speaks for itself. Hej receives support from Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Par Grindvik, Adultnapper, Deetron, Camea, Laurent Garnier, Alexi Delano, Tim Xavier and other world class DJ’s .
