Way Out West’s Seasoned EDM veteran Jody Wisternoff continues to turn out top-drawer tunes as demonstrated by his debut efforts on Anjunadeep “Lassoo” and “No Longer Strangers”, and this double A-side sees him return in style.
“Vintage”, as the name suggests, has an almost retro feel about it with its long, drawn out 80s-influenced synthesiser lines and intermittent electric guitar riffs. Building in a suspenseful interlude built around those same synthesiser lines, “Vintage” can be slid into the early part of a set or used to break things up in the middle with equal aplomb.
Next up you have “Shivver”, a deep, moody and complex number with delicate melodic sprinklings reminiscent of Hawk’s seminal prog house masterpiece “Need For Cognition”. Add in some evocative string sequences, brief dashes of organic percussion and a grinding, pumping bassline that tries at every opportunity to break away off its leash, and you’ll find this to be a very intricately structured box of musical tricks.
