Affect! – Akaria EP [Save Us Records]

by Shlomi Biton January 21, 2015

Save Us Records proclaim their fifth release, with a three track EP by Affect!. Comprising of one original and two remixes, one each from Nick Devon and Kris Davis, ‘Akaria” upholds the quality of music that has now become synonymous with the label.
‘Akaria’ is the type of track that allows your mind to wander and never return. The sound is wholesome and seductive, with its dubbed chugging bass line and subtle breakdowns, which all flow effortlessly amongst a cascade of melodies and synth chords.
Nick Devon hits things a little harder for his remix of ‘Akaria’. The synth chords are racier and the bass line is much tougher, creating a tension that is both electric and formidable. The full brunt of this remix however, sits with its dark percussive intricacies, which are layered seamlessly into Nick’s signature sound.
The final remix on the EP comes from Kris Davis. Imposing his own imprint upon ‘Akaria’, led Kris to really draw out the extremity of the strings, as well as the relentless nature of the tracks overall vibe. He manages to balance perfectly the melancholy of the original and the darkness within Nick’s remix.

Release Date: 2 February 2015
