Dreamy aesthetics intertwine with dancefloor athletics in Several Definitions’ You Are Not Alone EP. The title track emerges via a slow paced wandering bassline, making for a gradually immersive intro.

Padded with ethereal synths and aerial whizzes, Alone’s dreaminess increases tenfold showcasing the artist’s crafty melodic side. Hatzler jumps in on the remix, kicking off with a bumping bassline from the get-go. Injecting bass and grit is one of his known production traits, and he manages to give Alone a straightforward, still dreamy yet solid groove appeal.

Antala sets off with thumping bass drums, laying the foundation for an ascending synth array. Melancholy is key, as grave synth loops layer onto dramatic strings, creating a tightly wound arrangement.

Bjoern Stoerig’s rework comes with added drum loops and high pitched synths, as he aptly shifts the track’s dramatic high points, reconstructing the overall resonance. Despite its jovial name, Esmeralda comes in the form of a dark and murky melody, accented with sharp busts and winding synth bits.

Esmeralda’s mood upholds the collective gloominess of the entire lot and offers up an intricate incursion into deep tech realm.
