Robsounds returns with his third Ep on Aciitone, and as the youngest of our labels grows from strength to strength Rob continues to mold the deeper sound of Aciitone Blue. The Velvet Ep arrives super deep and drenched in sunshine influence's, it includes another two beautiful pieces from Rob alongside a sluggish and very retro "Crushed" remix from Bubba and a truly understated and much deeper minimal remix from Avus to round off the package.
Deep, warm and strangely beautiful Velvet is the title track on this one, a definite Detroit influence can be heard early on with a deep pad creating the mood and setting the tone throughout, layer upon layer follows with overlying keys and suburb melodies creating a mass of atmosphere. The arrangement and use of percussion help Velvet shine and are sure make this work on many levels over summer months.
Unsure how Bubba arrived where he did with his remix but his "crushed mix" stands strong on the package and has the potential to become a summer anthem with those that like a feelgood house bomb. His sluggish house take comes as real surprise, with loose groovy percussion, a fantastic bassline, plethora of fx, samples and bite and and oh so retro piano hook, we can expect hands in the air as this one plays out.
Frangelico is the B side and toughest of the lot, its a fusion of big room leads, twinkling nostalgic melody and fantastic atmosphere and tension throughout. With more super tight percussion and arrangement as always Rob delivers once again on all fronts.
Finally comes the Avus remix of Frangelico, an understated stripped back affair that sits nicely among the package and rounds things off with very little fuss. His less is more approach works well here, using clicky percussion and deep sub to create the early groove the main hook comes in the form of one of Robs original layering synths. Keeping the original feel of Frangelico this should appeal to the deeper heads.
