Pig&Dan - Infinity [Drumcode]

Pig&Dan signal their first solo outing on Drumcode since 2016, with a stirring three-track effort.

The duo stand as one of electronic music’s most prolific artists, morphing between different shades of house and techno across 15+ years, all the while displaying a surprising breadth that’s ensured their enduring demand. Their relationship with Adam Beyer has solidified over the years, first impressing with a debut EP dubbed ‘Mexico’ in 2016, before collaborating with the Swede himself in 2017 for the fantastic four-tracker ‘Capsule’, a notable highlight. With their contribution to last year’s ‘A-Sides’ compilation with the track ‘La Bruja’ one of the strongest of the bunch, their return with a full-length EP is timely.

The lead track ‘Infinity’ is rave-infused stadium techno crafted to perfection, propelled by a wavy melodic lead that builds to a tension-filled breakdown, before the chords re-emerge and drive the track to a hypnotic finish. Vocal cut ‘Losing Part of Me’ is transcendental, with a pounding bass and ultra-crisp percussion wonderfully contrasting the emotive chanting and laser-licked melodic touches. The EP concludes with ‘Plex’, where a sombre melody unites with pulsating percussion for an atmosphere-heavy closer.
