Berlin sequencer Thomas Pahl aka Vertical67 pitches his latest sheaf of sim city nostalgia acid away from the lovers lanes of his last SILK sides, Soulmates, towards a new nocturnal dome. Faded neon, concave rubber basslines, fluorescent synths, and Roland rhythm patterns interweave across expanses of spheric interior space – an Aura pervades. The EP’s 5 pieces patrol different perimeters, evoking various shades of windswept, moon-burned, ecstatic, restless states of mind. Pahl’s interests in electronic textures spill over into his ambient work as The Coloured Chaos, a fixation with fluidity, weightlessness, lasers fluttering between microchips, an android’s haunted thoughts. Interface and inter-place. Features a remix of zero gravity poolside theme “Invisible Presence” by Octo Octa. Mastered by Eric Hanson.

Casual R&B swagger, puro-Euro instincts and super studio techneeks are all over Soulmates, Vertical67’s debut 100% Silk cassette caress. On these seven soul staples, the Berlin beat-maker combines the bass-session styles of a Nigel Rodgers production with warm ’n’ fuzzy, as-the-gear-turns heartbreak house. Soulmates enhances the mood and trances the mind, moves the groovester and satiates the taste-tapper—you won’t know what you’ve been missing until you have it. Get Vertical, baby.
