Modelers
Pulse EP
Our exploration of the uncontrollable urge to dance continues with the 40th release of Urge To Dance, this time delivered by the Sicilian duo Modelers. A versatile and irresistibly danceable, their Pulse EP is a fascinating example of pure craftsmanship.
The EP opener, Pulse, offers carefully blended combination of distorted kicks and drums and percussions which have undergone gentle saturation and delay touches. Slick analogue Moog and MoPho effects, with an Arturia Mini V3 melody and hauntingly nostalgic vocal further enhance the overall old-school vibes of the track.
7Eleven is a beautiful and magical journey inspired by a most unusual sound:..... the sound at the entry of the famous supermarket chain. Thick, groovy bass and kicks, coupled with enchanting pads from the legendary Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer, are slowly building the tension towards an emotional vocal part and remarkable peak of the track.
The closing track is Sasawild, a classic deep dive into global tribal roots, following a simple rule: less is more. Set around several edited percussions loops, simple African vocals and hypnotising Aboriginal didgeridoo, impressively emulated through the Korg MS20, this is a track that brings out the sounds of tribal times to the present and the future.
The Pulse EP is a beautiful delivery that certainly places Modelers on the radar a two of the very promising upcoming Artists.
