                          ............................

             Temples is a tempting invitation into another world, full of 
             light and movement. From the second the synth comes in this 
             track has got us deep in its pocket. Shotter manages something 
             that is hard to achieve - he has us floating completely, yet 
             steadily carried by tip-toeing metallic rhythm elements and the 
             relentless swells of bright synths. The game changer in the 
             second half is a new, gritty bass quality, which couldn't roll 
             in any more fiercely. At its fullest the track has us in an 
             uncompromising trance, a relentless movement that we don't ever 
             want to escape from. Breaking back down to pleasantly gentle 
             hi-hat reverb-tails and inducing synth patterns Temples lets us 
             down easy, with the unspoken promise to return.
                     Ueno claims the room to itself completely and 
             immediately. The rise and fall of melodic synth lines lead us 
             through a labyrinth at first, leaving plenty of space for 
             imagination. Before we notice playful call-and-response rhythms 
             are teasing our ears, until the track surrenders itself to an 
             ever-growing wave of synth patterns and their 
             behind-the-beat-delay. It climaxes into a haunting silence with 
             tenuous high-pitched sounds and a clear outer space feel. 
             Finally, all elements lock into a comforting groove, driving us 
             forward, not too fast, not too slow - exactly right.
                     The track starts off with a blissfully nostalgic 
             vintage-feel - slightly muffled, like the humbling quality you 
             get from an old Technics playing your favourite LP. But don't be 
             fooled, Cube March is bold. And unexpected. Stomping rhythms 
             take over quickly and full-blown gritty synth-stabs cut the air 
             effortlessly, like blades. An unapologetic and careless pumping 
             bass line makes us want to move with every cell in our body. 
             Shotter demonstrates his fearlessness in experimenting with 
             heavy contrasts and elements from different genres here. A break 
             with tastefully placed repetitive rhythm elements is 
             complemented by the constant ebb and flow of melody lines. Both 
             in volume and presence they fluctuate, one handing over the 
             spotlight to the other seamlessly, keeping us hooked until the 
             very end.
                     This remix lures you away from reality in a matter of 
             seconds, with Definition's signature heavy hitting bass 
             dominating. He expertly weaves shimmery fills into buoyant synth 
             lines and brings us a skilful mix of dark minimal techno, breaks 
             and infectious monster synth lines. Every so often, he adds a 
             new layer, increasing the depth of the track, before letting it 
             all crumble in a breakdown where time stops and tension grows, 
             as we impatiently await the next rise to carry us away. The 
             lengthy build-ups give this remix the energy to fill any room, 
             easily. It is subtle, yet propulsive, too - a lane that 
             Definition seems to manage regularly.
