A regular of Marseilles infamous club “La Dame Noir” (think Miami Vice meets Twin Peaks with a south of France accent) he brings us three cavernous pieces kicking off with “Catharsis”, a romantic / new wave chugger of a track built around singer Catherin voice.
Slow, dreamy and sweaty “Catharsis” develops over a sexy bass line to reach a quasi pop, goosebumps inducing climax. Imagine 1987 Depeche Mode remixed by Scratch Massive and you’re close.

Second track “Home21” speeds things up, and is most probably influenced by numerous peak time experiences at La Dame Noire. More techno inclined, the track is a relentless machine bleeping and screeching with minimalist synth lines surfing on a a bed of electro percussions and a New Orderish bass line. That’s probably why it’s coming out on Days Of Being Wild.

3rd track “Land Of None” is reminiscent of industrial / EBM bands of the early 80’s, with its piercing analog snare and robotic groove. A more experimental piece of music, the approach here was to do something more dissonant and oppressive. Mission accomplished, we’d say it wouldn’t have been out of place on one of Trevor Jackson Metal Dance compilation.

To close the EP we have Nhar remix of “Catharsis”.
Another French producer that we like very much here at Days Of Being Wild, Nhar brings his unique blend of airy, spacious sounds to the title track. Melodic and trippy his remix is epic and intimate at the same time, a superb reinterpretation of daWad’s darkness.
Here’s to a promising 2016!
