Direkt – Way Back

Italian newcomer Adam Oubkou aka Direkt is sure to turn plenty of heads with this new EP on RE.FACE’s limited edition vinyl series. He soon licks you in with the lovely dubby vibes and horizonless chords of ‘Way Back’ then get you more upright with the silky smooth loops and far-sighted chords of ‘Kaleidoscope.’ The flip side opens with ‘Groove 2’ which is another one to get your head amongst distant planets and soft-focus chords. Closer ‘Lent’ is a much more tense groove with lumpy drums and jumbled rhythms run through with freaky sci-fi sounds and muttered vocals.
