PREMIERE823 // Nphonix & Architect - Demonz by Sexy Dinosaur From Outer Space
published on
Nphonix has never been an artist to settle into a single groove. His journey through electronic music began in the high-velocity realms of Drum 'n' Bass, but his current interests lie in weaving more intricate rhythmic patterns. With a respected history on labels like R&S and Hyperboloid, he now arrives at Tripalium Corp for his latest endeavour: The "Demonz" EP is a collaborative effort, drawing on the talents of producers like Architect, Fisky, and Bleep, and it presents itself as a unified assault of five distinct club tracks. Each one is engineered for a discerning crowd that values both musical adventure and pure physical response, merging a wide array of inspirations into a cohesive, frenzied package.
Premiere here, the title track, fruit of the collaboration with Architect, fully embodies this ethos by forging a compelling alliance between Breakbeat's rugged swing and Techno's driving force. It creates a mood that is both shadowy and irresistibly upbeat, a difficult balance to achieve. The track feels like a night drive through a neon-lit city, where the percussion provides a skittering, unpredictable engine and the low-end hums with a palpable sense of urgency. This is a clever and potent piece of work, drawing its power from textural tension and rhythmic ingenuity rather than overt genre homage. It’s designed to command the room with its intelligent design and a rhythm that refuses to let the body go still, all while maintaining that dark, buoyant pressure.
