&Me – The Rapture Pt.II [Keinemusik]

Format: 12".
CAT: KMO46

The EP begins with "The Rapture Pt. II" and, as its title suggests, coherently picks up where its previous original material left off: in a soulful state of sweet affection bathed in harmonies. Known for being a virtuoso of sonic detail, &ME lives up to that reputation by incorporating delicate synth elements and subtly vibrant percussions, all held together by shimmering layers and, of course, a heart-melting piano improvisation that, at a certain point, synchronizes with the rhythm of its synthetic counterpart, leading to an ending that will leave no dance floor indifferent.

Meanwhile, "Solaris," on the B-side, adds a futuristic note to the composition, opening with a choppy rhythm and driving claps. Like its predecessor, the piece relies more on fluidity and organic transitions than on forced resources designed for prime-time club play. Subtle additions include a synth arpeggio, white noise, vocal chants, and harmonies. Even so, the track displays a captivating strength that gradually raises the dance floor's temperature throughout its entire duration.
