Review: With ‘Control Your Mind’, Mathias Kaden drops four authentic pieces featuring the finest modern dub techno sounds mixed with electric rollers, hypnotic groovy percussions. The sound of the four new original tracks are perfectly suited to Kaden’s particular touch in music, focusing always in creating a trippy and propulsive banger. Tremendous EP!
Mathias Kaden returns to Rekids with a new four-track EP titled ‘Control Your Mind’, featuring a remix from Marcel Dettmann.
Previously appearing on Rekids in 2019 with his ‘Liberate Drums’ EP, Mathias Kaden makes his second appearance on Radio Slave aka Matt Edwards’ label with four original tracks of razor sharp material, as well as a remix from Berghain resident Dettmann.
‘Control Your Mind’ opens with the impeccably produced title track, an electro flecked roller. Featuring hypnotic synth work and subtle automated inflections, the cut effortlessly glides, peppered with the occasional titular vocal refrain from Sven Väth puncturing the groove. Shifting into 4/4 territory is ‘Conviction’, a restrained but stunningly effective track that makes full use of memorable off-beat synth stabs and shimmering 909 percussion to constantly drive the track forward.
On the flip, Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann turns up the heat with his remix of ‘Control Your Mind’. Filtering the vocals, the MDR and BAD MANNERS boss also delivers a resonant bassline that works in tandem with knocking percussion, as creeping pads morph and evolve over the duration of the track, creating a trippy and propulsive banger.
Classic dub techno aesthetics are front and centre in ‘Substance’, a track destined for the golden hours between late at night and early in the morning, while finishing the package in fine style, the digital only ‘Anticipation’ showcases Kaden’s skill in crafting a killer peak time track, adding a welcome bonus of yet another weapon for USBs worldwide.
Mathias Kaden ‘Control Your Mind’ drops via Rekids on 6th November 2020.
