DROID.11
Raíz – Keep Secrets EP
Remixes by Jerome Sydenham | Function | James Ruskin

Available now in digital format on Beatport
and where all Vinyl is sold.

The Enigmatic duo behind much of Droid Behavior’s activity, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas make their debut on Droid Recordings as Raíz. Raíz marks a new sound and message for the label, bringing a deeper sound to the power and grit. The Raíz project first appeared on Historia y Violencia with the dark dub track NUEVA, which made waves last spring for the label from techno’s epicenter, Berlin. The duo delves into an exploration of atmosphere, psychedelia, and themes of emotional disorder with the Keep secrets EP. On remix duties are like minded music veterans James Ruskin of Blueprint UK and Jerome Sydenham vs Function of Ibadan / Sandwell fame.

The title track develops slowly but surely into tougher dance floor territory with jagged percussion structures across an odyssey of eerie, spacey synth work. When the breakdown hits, crowds will be begging for the next hard hitting chapter to unfold… and it delivers. On the flip is Been Caught, and equally deep cut with enough groove to keep audiences moving at any time from peak hour on. Vibrato chord progressions accompany detailed sound design, chilling vocal snippets, and big room ready drum programming.

The new found collaboration of Jerome Sydenham and Function impressed industry and fans alike on CLR’s spring series of vinyls. The duo bring a similar vibe to this remix of Keep Secrets, which adds a new dub element and vocal rework to the original. Percussion is thickened, and all song elements are re-sequenced and reinterpreted for the hardest of DJ sets.
