[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

Continuing to showcase new talent on the label, Nikko.Z's 
Dopamine White welcomes Dimel De Silva for his debut EP. Since 
first appearing in October of 2019 the Sri Lankan artist has 
showcased his music on some of the genre's most regarded labels. 
Releases for Another Life, BC2 and Droid9 have all been 
sensational and sit prominently in his discography. Now getting 
2021 off to a great start, Dimel debuts on Dopamine White with 
'Upside Down'.

The release begins with the deep progressive vibes of the title 
selection. Smooth and groovy throughout, it carries a dark 
hypnotic quality at the outset. Moving through layers of 
detailed percussion and roboticized vocals, before effortlessly 
segueing into the main break. Trippy effects and emotive chord 
changes lay the foundation for the vocal narrative to expand 
across the centrepiece, building tension and intrigue as a 
flurry of drums sparks a powerful drop and driving finale.

The second selection 'After' follows a similar sonic ethos to 
its predecessor but resonates on a tougher, more mystical level. 
Remarkably powerful, it's chunky bass stabs command attention, 
moving through rolling contours and rhythmic pulses, while 
clattering percussion and haunting effects add further bounce to 
the groove. Ethereal atmospheres initiate the main break, 
eventually melting down to a reservoir of twisted effects and 
sweeping bass swells. Tense and cinematic in equal measure, it's 
a mind-bending sonic collage which sets the stage for a dynamic 
final movement.

The release is capped off in fine fashion with the darker moods 
of 'Power of Yaaga'. Expertly marrying nostalgic progressive 
sensibilities, Dimel layers sophisticated rhythmic structures 
with percussive waves and cosmic effects. It's a unique and 
highly engaging storyboard, perhaps one of the Sri Lankan 
artist's most heady to date in fact and no doubt a highly 
memorable selection for your dance floor. It rounds out three 
compelling productions from Dimel, who makes a superb Dopamine 
White debut to begin the year.
