Neurotraxx push forward and on embark a new direction, which is signified by their latest release ‘Diaries’. Consisting of three original tracks, each one is a collaboration from new label bosses Aki Bergen and his new partner, fellow Italian Richter.
The first track ‘My Love Won’t Fade Away’, delivers a smooth rolling groove, uplifting chord changes and vocals from vocalist Spiritual Front. The vocals venture between softly spoken words and a soothing chorus, which appear further into the track.
‘Mirage’ is next and it sets the mood with a warm organic bass line and some subtle yet ornate percussion elements. The true personality of this track however lays within its intricate layers and stabbing synths.
The third and final track ‘The Fog’ is elegantly spiced with warped soundscapes and a droning melody that is both hypnotizing and alluring. Its energy is consistent and doesn’t waver from start to finish.
