Datawave – Landscapes

New heat from Datawave is always going to be worth tuning into, and so it proves with this new one on Wave Function. His signature fusion of dreamy synthscapes and kinetic rhythms shines bright from the off with ‘Hyperborea’ soothing mind and soul while the body shifts its behind. ‘Dawnlights’ has lazy acid modulations drifting between the slower beats, then ‘Drifting’ is as hopeful as the dawn of a new day with it arching chords and celestial synth twinkles. ‘Aquila’ has a more pronounced broken beat pattern and prying bass, but still plenty of deft melodies, and ‘Landscapes’ is a dubbed-out thinker.
