Dorisburg - Trust
Once again, we're back with the enigmatic Dorisburg. The talented Swede returns to Aniara Recordings with a digital re-release of the 2014 Trust EP (2023). This time around, 'Trust' and 'Mystical Influence' are included digitally. So we can finally fully embrace the serenity of rain in the koi pond with two killer tracks that blend style and percussive interest. Don't be shocked by the opening track 'Trust' as it drones and lasts longer than expected, but this is all done to lull us into the groove. Lying in wake, slowly building while never quite giving us the climax we crave.
Voices chose to stir the pot, while Trust comes with the soul and intensity we've come to love. Dorisburg invites us into the first track, 'Trust', with a placid, sustained chord with the most subtle movement that instantly gives the feeling of the ocean, and slowly, slowly, the meat and potatoes of the track are gradually introduced. A bouncy, stripped, back house groove that shines in its restrain. Dorisburg keeps the growls, wood blocks and sound effects from clashing with the other elements by not having too many. The killer vocal carries the track forward, and the mixing of it is perfection. As you listen, the sample seems to change slightly, all the same cadence but different elements of the track interact with it until the end when we are greeted with the mantra "just don't break my heart" that is allowed to play out unobstructed.
The second track" offers a feeding frenzy of muted grooves and dub techno-inspired ear candy for your listening pleasure. Then, finally, we are treated to a much more percussive track that keeps using a tech-house styling, but because of its darker sonic pallet, it allows for a more meditative listen. 'Mystical influence' refines the calling cards of modern tech-hose down to mostly rhythms. This enables Dorisburg to extenuate the atmospherics far further than usual. Combined with rounded drum hits and splintering wood samples, 'Mystical Influence' achieves a gloomy tribal aesthetic that sounds sit perfectly within a mix.
