Bill Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Dhamika Solitude EP Mystic Sound Records A short and sweet release from a very talented and prolific producer. It seems like every other week there is a new Dhamika release or an brand-new appearance on a good-quality compilation. Besides this EP, for 2015 the producer is also available on the full-length "Energy Flow" album and has contributed the wonderful "Aathma" to the Uxmal Chill 01 compilation. And that's assuming there is not anything else that may have slipped through the cracks. On this two-tracker, "The Missing Piece" is a pretty, lithe, uplifting piece of down tempo with synth work that sounds reminiscent of the great Easily Embarrassed project. Dhamika carries that vibe over into the title track but with better results. The bass growls in just the right places, making "Solitude" a bit groovier, the synth lines are catchy and atmospheric and the details are clear and concise. What makes "Solitude" the better track (and a worthy EP, for that matter,) is its leanings into more psychedelic sounds, its heady use of samples, its slow and patient unfurling of atmosphere, its good head-bobbing rhythms. It is a keeper. Dhamika has always been very adept at both quality chill-out and excellent psychedelic down tempo. On "Solitude," he offers up a little of both, some fine examples of the best of his abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
