Ben Hoo

Modal EP

Kindisch

Buy: Juno

Ben Hoo brings his next EP Modal via Kindisch. Complete with remixes from App and Daso, Modal is a salute to the deeper side of Tech House.

‘Jasmine’ is a mix of dubby bass and sentimental piano pads. Jasmine is soft, yet with her driving bassline, she pulls us onto our feet like a late night dance floor siren. A beautiful track for a beautiful evening.

Apps remix of ‘Jasmine’ favors edgy bass and deep kicks. Thick chords stab the night air and penetrate the hot percussion. App adds vocal ambiance to create a full feeling to the track. As a whole, the mix feels like a homage to 80’s Synthpop, in a good way.

‘Modal’ is a compilation of high melodic tones and glitchy rhythm. Smooth chords play their part in the background to create an ethereal mix for your dance pleasure.

Daso takes these warm chords and brings them forward, while bringing the bass up. A straight beat keeps the time as House music receives a new title. Still keeping the high tones, Daso brings a delightful mix to the table, adding to a great EP.
