TRUST

Taking the release-portfolio into account, Rampa built over the last years on Keinemusik, him adding a new EP to the label's catalogue is worth every credit of trust. And this very Trust' EP is living up to that not only by its name. It certainly offers value for money, considering KM-releases have mostly been two-trackers. There are four cuts on this one, each one following a different approach, making it also a hella versatile record. It opens with the titeltrack, the floor-mantra within this bunch. A ruminant groove, backed by lifting and dropping notes, launching a catchy synth-figure and adding up synth-layers until all tension drops into a break that's as curative as a talk therapy. A track that, out of unshakable serenity, unleashes an irresistible energy. The following Entropie' comes closest to what could be considered a Rampa classic. Percussive loops that are scooped up with even more banging and clanking - check. Lurking synthbass in the back - check. Vocalsamples with tribal descent - double check. Generally, you'll find a whole lot of folklore in this rhythm rich affair, that continuously is jazzing up to highest ecstasy levels. The flipside opens with Defiled', led by a prominent synthline, that's going through various filter highs and lows and gets bludgeoned by some vigorously swung claps. Raw, naked floor material lacking any flourish, that seems to even fire up a jackhammer during the break. Headsup' is concluding this set. Triggering the smell of watered sidewalks, lit-up only by flickering neon light, immersed in the depths of delay, this latenight-story finds some redemption and warmth within the glow of its soulful vocal samples.
