Shlomi Aber returns to Ovum for the first time since 2013’s 'Slack Tide' with a new three-track EP. Shlomi runs his own Be As One label and is a producer who brings depth and synth craft to techno. From his breakout release, 'Freakside' in 2007 to his album 'Chicago Days/Detroit Nights', the Barcelona-based, Tel Aviv-born artist has released on various labels while laying down three-deck sets around the world.
He sent these recent demos to Ovum head Josh Wink "and it was an easy decision to welcome our old friend back for this incredible new release."
Opener 'Rewired' is a loopy techno cut with slowly tumbling chords that fall through space as sleek drums roll onwards. 'Brickwall' has synth loops keeping you hanging above the techno beats. Last of all is 'Dream To Be Drum', the quickest and most mind-melting of the lot. With shades of Detroit techno's soulful sounds, it's a futuristic and tightly woven techno workout.
It’s out 13 January on Ovum Recordings.
