Deepchord - Prana/Tantra [Soma]

Prana gleams into existence as ethereal pads slowly drift in, giving way to a subtle, almost deep house beat that pulses elegantly, backed by airy, tribal percussion. A gently staccato synth pattern fades in and out, flirting ever so slightly with the idea of techno but always remaining within the confines of its usual sound. Simplicity is key to this track, and Deepchord allows it to evolve at a leisurely pace, playing with reverb sweeps and effects that give it an exuberant and organic character.

Tantra conveys a tougher energy than its predecessor. Deeper, rougher, and carefully layered synths open the track, while percussive elements, enveloped in effects, build the foundation of the groove. Reinforced by a characteristic Deepchord dub bassline, the track once again evolves impeccably, with the listener barely perceiving the subtle changes that give Tantra a deep and emotional flow.

Never one to stand still or be pigeonholed into a single genre, Deepchord once again demonstrates his versatility by delivering two beautifully constructed tracks, true to his unmistakable style.
