German house duo Monkey Safari deliver their widely anticipated 4 track EP titled “On” through German label Hommage Musik. The EP consists of two original tracks and two remixes by techno master Paco Osuna and widely accomplished and sought after DJ Chloé. “On” is full to the brim with talent and before you even sit down to listen to it, you already know that this one is going to be an absolute cracker!
The title track “On” is 10 minutes of twisted groove. It begins on the off with a rumbling bass and effortlessly worked synths sending this track into a euphoria of psychedelic trance. Just when you thought this track couldn’t get any better, it kicks up into an uncontrollable state, sending you into the abyss. Surrounded by enchanting synths, a phenomenal bass and rhythmic percussion is the male vocals that truly captivate you into never wanting this one to end, it stands at 10 minutes but if only it didn’t end. “On” is a formidable and high-powered opening track and it’s delicious!
This EP just keeps getting better and on the second track , “Matters”, the flowing melodic groove is still strong. This one demands your full attention, there’s a real bouncy vibe which transitions into a soulful rhythm with striking synths poking throughout. This one is heavy on the bass and you will not be able to sit still whilst this one is playing, making this one a real night time anthem.
Next up we have Paco Osuna’s remix of the original “On”. Paco brings his own style to play here and transforms an unforgettable original track into a piece of musical art. He strips this one down completely, adding in choppy synths, effective reverb and punchy beats, all the while keeping the vocal elements from the original, but mixing them up to suit his remix. Paco’s remix of “On” is intriguing and his style rings through in creating an extremely groovy track worthy of any dance floor.
Closing the EP sees Chloé’s remix of “Matters”. This one starts of slow but don’t let that fool you, before you actual realise you’re hit with a rumbling bass that will send vibrations through your chest. This remix is a real change of pace to the original, it has a relaxed vibe going on as Chloé transcends this track into a funky techno number as some sci-fi pads and synths make an appearance. The tracks rhythms and textures make this a perfect closing track to an EP that has been executed to perfection.
