For the second post of the day I would like to talk about something really interesting. Co-releasesd by two of my favorite labels, that are Tympanik Audio and Mindtrick Records, here we have “Fear of the Unknown”, the debut album by dutch duo Atiq & EnK. The album will be available in Cd, double vinyl and digital on 23rd of April 2013.
“Led by heavy wobbly basslines and pulsing synth pads, ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ exhibits a dark yet airy approach to beat-driven electronic music, injecting each song with an unmistakable groove and flow. Striking atmospheric breakdowns facilitate transitions among the infectious beat movements, while subtle glitches and echoing snares accentuate the overall flow of each song. Sometimes brooding, sometimes wondrous, Atiq & EnK‘s ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ manages to hold the listener’s attention throughout with a steady and cohesive tapestry of expansive beatwork, contorted melodies, and enveloping atmospheres that all seem effortless and natural to these talented new Dutch sound designers. A remarkable and impressive debut, ‘Fear of the Unknown‘ burrows deep into the subconscious and ascends into an unknown inner universe. Are you afraid of the unknown, or will you embrace it?”
This is “Sim One”, the first single taken from “Fear Of The Unknown”
