Don’tcha just love it when a plan comes together? Be it serendipity, karma, top producer meets damn good A&R, likeminded souls finding cultural common ground as they bond musically across the ether…or most likely a combo of all the above.

Which is how the incredibly talented UnbrokenOne, long time Digweed favourite, makes a most welcome Selador debut with this storming EP. What instantly jumps out from the grooves contained herein is a deep knowledge of electronic music in all its myriad forms. This is what enables lead track ‘Wilderness’ to rise above sub-genres and pigeonholes. Its intricacies, as a series of infectious riffs, well chosen vocal snippets and percussive ingenuity weave in and out of each other, are a thing of beauty. It’s a case of the parts are great, the sum of them even greater.

Sister track ‘Gradient’, if you’ll allow us to channel our inner football pundit for a moment, sets its stall out early doors. Deep’n’dark from the off, squelchily hypnotic, rising slowly but oh so surely to a melodic / epic crescendo.

And it’s a warm Seladorian welcome back to Colombia’s finest, Kamilo Sanclemente, this time in collaborative tandem with another label debutant, his countryman Mauro Aguirre. Their revision of ‘Gradient’ bounces and throbs with serious dancefloor intent, and like the original builds climactically – pure dopamine release business.
