Greg Fenton reviews Katerina – One EP – Rekids
Katerina’s One is all things at once. It’s as much about subtle, sublime melody as it is about rigorous dancefloor movement. The former is of keen interest setting this production apart from its contemporaries as keys, chords, and motifs create sensuous atmospheres to find yourself lost in, while fizzy hi-hats plus driving beats cover the later requirements perfectly. Then there is a dreamy, airy quality contained within the vocals adding an extra layer of colour to this already heady production. As I say it’s about deeper reflection so let’s also mention the words organic and human too.
The remix comes from Aleksi Perälä who begins via turbulent ambient arpeggios and ends up with pounding, ultra-rhythmic drums letting the music explore, teasing out sentiment and creative possibilities galore. It is a refreshing listen that excitedly crisscrosses all sorts of boundaries in the process. Next, Papu feels bouncier, uplifting in a traditional sense, leaving the moodier satisfaction of Look Into My Eyes to complete this fine release via more whispered voices and carefully crafted chords adding bite to another resonating production.
Release: March 8
