Versatile producer and industrious DJ KlangKuenstler steps up with a fresh offering of four dancefloor-ready tracks, including two reworks.

Despite its provocative title, Rise Against The Arp swiftly reveals its use of melodic arpeggios. Running against a backdrop of groovy percussion and zippy synth pads, the arps build up an immersive synth tunnel that’s an instant attention grabber.

Enlisting Hector Couto for the rework, the second track offers a more mellow and laid-back version of the original. The arps lose prime position in favour of a gradually rising melody underpinned by relentless percussion. Do that once provides a more playful construction, balancing out the other half of the release.

With old school house style vocals and a groovy yet haunting beat, it manages to strike all the right notes that define a tech infused house anthem. Arado shows off his penchant for developing groovy dubbed-out tracks on the remix. With a stripped back soundscape lined by chopped up vocals, his take proves an equally playful and hypnotic arrangement with an extra dose of bounce.
