ODTD037 sees the Øddity return of SOEL and Rinzen after featuring individually on Odd Echoes VAs. Now these two exciting producers combine to full effect over an extended release after significant melodic techno works for Afterlife, TAU, Bedrock, NOTTURNA and Last Night On Earth.

Title track ‘Meliora’ grabs your attention straight away with its driving 4/4 beat, dark ringing keys and deep sub bass. Rich stirring synth lines enter giving a sense of warmth, with emotions heightened across an extended breakdown that teases the audience as they wait for that inevitable release of energy. The drop is tasteful and certainly doesn’t disappoint. ‘Meliora’ is perfect for long summer sets on a moonlit terrace or a hot dark club with a big sound system.

‘Beauty in the Midst of Uncertainty’ takes us deeper into the minds of SOEL and Rinzen across an expansive journey that pulls you into its cavernous core. The bass keys throb and pulse, as angular arps take aim from the speakers - before you know it you’re caught up in a maelstrom of sound, blissfully pinned to the dance-floor as the rising sea of arms wave in unison, living in the purity of that moment.

‘Patterned Chaos’ sees the two artists stretch out over a pulsating melodic techno DJ tool. Punchy yet crisp beats and echoed cymbal crashes set an intense groove while the arpeggiated theme seizes your attention. The notes slow down and then gain in tempo - swirling and hypnotizing the listener as the intensity dial is twisted up to 11 before taking you to the finish with a broody dark relentless groove.

Rinzen closes thing off with his solo production ‘A World Too Late’ - textured and poignant, yet upbeat and warm its a great way to finish the EP as the melodies fill the room. One of those tracks that makes you go in for a further play after the beats ride out.
