Serenity EP by Sun People
Sun People debuts on Modern Ruin with the Serenity EP.
Relentless from the get-go, we kick off with "Live It Up" - a spirited throwback to 90s junglism, breaks and reeses galore.
Second track "Cry" plays out like a razor-sharp incision into the heart of footwork and jungle. Airy keys, a stuttering half time rhythm and a sinister midrange make this an eyesdown experience.
"Mechanism" uses gritty synths and stabs in place of airy keys to build a lethal drum track designed to shake any dancefloor.
"Recall" straddles the footwork and jungle genres comfortably. Percussion occupies the soundscape as it carries itself to the finish line, a hypnotic bass sequence pulsating throughout.
"Never" is a delightfully minimal contribution from the versatile producer, veering away from the norm. Serving as an impromptu interlude for title track "Serenity", "Never" focuses on building a motif around the core groove, leading up to the finale.
"Serenity" comes in at the end of this release, to cap off a stunning selection of music from this talent. Closer to his original style, Sun People showcases his serene and calm outlook on music,
drawing on well placed percussion, vocals, and a penchant for building beautiful dance music soundscapes.
