Phaedrus :: Vita Nova

Viva Recordings offers up one of our techiest releases to date with the Vita Nova EP by Seattle based Dutch producer Phaedrus. Starting off with Cold Storage we get a groovy and subtle dance floor workout. Hallmarked by an infectious bass line and quirky demeanor this tracks perfect for an opening set or taking things deep into the late night. Up next is On the Fly, a bizarre yet engulfing track aimed at carefully working the brain as much as the feet with its stabbing pads and stompy rhythm. Closing out the EP we get Disphunktion, a cerebral banger that uses large classic synths sounds and creative rhythm work to propel the listener deep into that fine middle ground where techno and house meet.
