HEJ
Comp : installment one, part of a digital exclusive series featuring
five versatile tracks from US and UK based producers. PUNISHER
(Detroit) drops “Bullfrog Jack” a groovy minimal tune named for its
deep guttural bass and bouncy staggered beats. Layered with a collage
of micro blips and steam hiss fluttering and panning over a chunky
kick, this one’s sure to make you jak. JOHN OVERFIEND takes you on a
journey with “Frozen Indifference” a minimal techno banger with an
ancient mystique. Acidy sounds shift and pivot around the shuffled
drums, carried by an ominous droning voice that tells pieces of a
primal story. Deep bellowing bass floods through the mix as new levels
of percussion and hiss echo into the depths. SASSMOUTH "If Eyes Could
Hear" is a stripped down tribal masterpiece with fluttering bongos that
dance into a beautiful infectious melody. The whirling whale like siren
calls and cascading ambient keys caress your ears and your soul while
the bass thumps you to into motion.  ANDY TOTH presented two tracks,
both his unique style yet each completely different. His tune “I’m Not
Real” has a dream like feel with otherworldly synth tones, twisted
funky bass and cerebral effected vocals that seep into your
subconscious and captivate the listener. Andy’s next gem, "The Surface
Beneath" is swanky techno cut with keyboard stabs, pumping synth bass
and a lot of ass end.  Broken beat experimental breakdowns and some
serious drops make this one a dance floor rocker. With mastering by Tim
Xavier, the sound quality speaks for itself. Receiving regular support
from DJ’s such as Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Chris Fortier, Adultnapper,
and Soul Clap, HEJ is bridging the gap between techno and minimal house.
