Lonya – Fistashim. Incl. Dancing In The Rain [Sudbeat]

by Priya Sen June 23, 2015

Asymmetric Records owner and Tel Aviv DJ/Producer Lonya, returns to legendary Hernan Cattaneo’s label Sudbeat with a two track EP, that uses the language of dance music in a non stop roll of high end musicality.
Diving head long in to – “Fistashim”, I am greeted with fantastic vaporized interiors of this original mix that shows out sinewy curves of dark, austere House music. The mysterious fx play and cutting edge, thick as honey vibe, just plays all sorts of hypnotic shapes in your mind. The deep pads and thick undulating bass line shudders out undeniable squelch. It’s hard to tell if this one is meant for floor or home listening because of it’s steadfast creeping on you pace, yet it’s the smoothest piece of work from Lonya and I like it.
On the B side – “Dancing In The Rain” settles for a “jack your body” pace. A thick, livened up bass underpins a stretchy chord and complimentary synths accompany jaunty and ever so cutely. A chic tech atmosphere takes the rest of the track to the space where you will want to dance. The embellishments are minimal, as this track doesn’t need much, and as you hit the back end, you know it’s good the way it is.
Excellent work all around this release.
