Need For Mirrors & HLZ – Rotor EP [Horizons Music]

Horizons Music round off a great year with a cheeky new EP of deeper beats from Need For Mirrors and HLZ. The titular Rotor provides a dubbed out atmosphere and brooding bassline for a tune that is all groove; simple, but perfectly engineered. Pantheon ups the ante with a plethora of percussion fills giving the main break urgency and bassline modulations adding to the texture under lush top end synth work.

Actress heads for darker territory, stripping back the pads and hitting in with agressive snares and punchy bass hits. Finally we’re treated to another groove-led production in the form of Broadwalk, with a precise break and a simple yet memorable bassline taking centre stage over a backdrop of subtle pads and swells. Check out the beats below and grab yourself a copy on vinyl or digital from the Horizons Store!

Nitri – Secrets EP [Horizons Music]

Horizons gear up for their 70th release from Brazilian producer Nitri. In typical Horizons style, the EP blurs the lines between deep, tech and liquid, pushing a forward thinking sound with no stylistic limitations.

Secrets and Lies both head for melancholy liquid territory, rolling beats and deep bass driven along by the vocal talents of Grimm. Next up Secrets gets the re-rub from DLR who it seems has been taking a few lessons from Break on how to turn a soulful roller into a techie beast! This one will do the damage on the dancefloors. Last but by no means least, The Map switches things up completely with a minimal, percussion driven stepper with some tasty sub swells and tons of atmosphere.

Check out the beats below, grab a white label copy from the Horizons Store and watch out for the full artwork/digital release shortly.
