New on the ever dependable Poker Flat Recordings, a three tracker from Marcos in Dub, the Spanish DJ and producer with a string of exceptional releases to his name.
The Mood EP kicks off with the title track - a firing dance floor heater, built around a rubbery groove. The track draws atmospheres and textures from trance-infused deep house, perhaps a legacy of the artist's time as a resident at Madrid's infamous Goa nights. The synths bubble and boil over into a lysergic trip that will flip minds when heard in the right circumstances.
Joeski's remix takes the fundamental elements and strips the track down into a tough, minimalistic groover - the synths are a little more restrained, and the percussion gets more of a leading role in driving the track.
'Root' closes out the release, which gets deep into the dubwise sounds one might expect - it's a thick, deep sound, enhanced by the creative use of reverb and delay, creating space and atmosphere for the groove to work its magic.
