Buy link: shorturl.at/q4H1l
Venturing into a place between places, Melorama Música is proud to welcome bold Dutch explorer Kebin van Reeken for his label debut with ‘Enjoy the Present’. Comprised of two powerfully crafted cuts, this EP finds van Reeken at his most assured: a producer who makes darkness feel inviting, channeling raw club tension into something transportive where driving rhythms and brooding atmosphere collide to hypnotic effect.
Ever-evolving, the title track ‘Enjoy the Present’ unfurls with patience, instilling a cavernous feel in its chugging groove. Expanding with enviable aplomb, van Reeken treads dark grounds while electricity moves and contorts in the crackling background, adding a warm depth as we venture deeper inside. Enveloped by lush textures, tantalizing aqueous sparks slowly surge through the mix, leading the way to a brief suspension before tension propels us forward. Reaching the apex of its transformation, the track blossoms effortlessly when iridescent lights creep overhead and materialize as dazzling auroras, while a hopeful message washes over in a quiet but insistent bid for a different tomorrow.
Moving with an amplified sense of swagger, ‘The Unknown’ shifts the mood decisively, deploying a throbbing low end that works in tandem with dense percussive textures to set something headier and more urgent in motion. As the bars roll by, an ominous swell takes center stage, injecting the piece with unbridled tension while metallic malfunctions begin to stake their claim. Contracting and expanding in harrowing ways, the track lives up to its name at the midpoint, presenting a most intoxicating breakdown where nothing is quite what it seems. Somewhere and nowhere at once, ‘Enjoy the Present’ rounds out as a truly expressive package in a bold statement from one of Holland’s most exciting emerging voices.
