The Alchemy EP vinyl

On an unstoppable march into the deepest reaches of forward thinking electronic music, Aybee delivers once again with another slab of stunning vision on his own Deepblak. "Metamorphosis" starts the EP off in illustrious fashion with graceful sweeps of pads that flirt with a subtle kinked beat, and little else. "The Sky Is Ours" meanwhile revolves around a more stout 4/4 beat than we're used to from the Oakland producer, but still the extra percussive decoration pushes and pulls in alien formations that create a truly unique groove. "Centrifical Seduction" gets a touch more playful, as a nippy bassline darts around sombre synth notes and a stout handclap guides you through. Beats wise it may be more grounded than many Aybee records, but the feeling is still truly out of this world.
