Ukrainian artist Somelee steps up to Kindisch with a fantastically cultured pair of new tracks.
Somelee hails from Kharkiv in Ukraine, a city now destroyed by war which has left him searching for a new home. Despite this, he remains a core part of the new school of melodic house and techno producers. He has released on that scene's most pivotal labels such as All Day I Dream, Sol Selectas and now Kindisch. Whether making melancholic moods or more groove-based cuts, he does so with a real sense of atmosphere.
His opener 'Aries' is a sublime six-minute journey into supple deep house rhythms They are gently peppered with tumbling toms and melodies that speak of yearning and loss. They are carefully draped over the drums and make a lasting impact, while more nimble keys have an Eastern feel and bring a sense of hope next to the delicate and whispered female vocals.
'Solar Symphony' is a collaboration with Talemates that is a little heavier and more driving, but still deliciously deep and with a gorgeous female vocal. Here the taught drums bump beneath languid chords and loose shakers. Playful melodies dance up top next to string sounds and a rasping bassline adds further weight to this stylish and subtle party starter.
This is a musical and moving pair of life-enriching house tunes.
