A1. Keep Climbing A2. Vader B1. Won't Beat Me B2. Zyfer House and techno purveyor Ejeca delivers with a high-octane release, ËœKeep Climbing EPâ„¢ on Needwant Records, which celebrates 100 releases. The four-tracker is available on a limited run of vinyl. From its inception, Needwant has focussed on pioneering the sounds of tomorrow, developing exciting artists in the world of crossover dance and electronic music including lau.ra, Kiwi, and Ejeca, who first released on the label in 2013. The title track kicks off the EP with serious force; heavy kicks and a glitchy melody loops hypnotically before making way for the trackâ„¢s commanding vocal which is equally entrancing. Like its title, ËœKeep Climbingâ„¢ builds and builds, generating full-throttle energy that is finally erupted after a euphoric piano breakdown. ËœVaderâ„¢ reduces the pace and deepens the mood with a deep humming bassline, twinkling chords, and eerie strings. A breakdown follows with Ejacaâ„¢s signature ravey piano-lines in combination with hooky top-line vocals that seamlessly takes the track into peak-time party territory. The track is dynamic, enthralling, and highlights the depth to Ejecaâ„¢s production. ËœWonâ„¢t Beat Meâ„¢ is colourfully uplifting from the offset with bright piano and arpeggiating pads shimmering in tandem. The vocal is contagiously catchy, topping the instrumentation with positive energy which is present throughout the trackâ„¢s duration. ËœWonâ„¢t Beat Meâ„¢ is a peak-time club big-hitter. Rounding off the EP is ËœZyferâ„¢ which boasts uncompromisingly chunky kicks and raw industrial echoes, before cleverly switching to a contrasting sonic soundscape in true Ejeca style. 8-bit arpeggiating chords bubble before warping into a driving club melody which dances on top of the heavy-hitting kicks and groovy percussion. The EP perfectly captures the ethos of Needwant; forward-thinking music with innovative ideas from an artist who contributed to the label in its early stages. 100 releases on and Needwant continues to push the sounds of tomorrow in slick style.
