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

Release number twenty-four on San Francisco's Manjumasi sees the 
return of Indian producer Vridian to the label. In keeping with 
the genre-defying style of 2019's Silverfish EP, the Strange 
Statistics EP offers a mesmerizing combination of electronic 
sounds. Lead track Ebb and Flow kicks things off at a high tempo 
but with a very deep half-time breakbeat groove. Airy textures 
and arpeggios weave their way around energetic bass stabs. Next 
up is title track Strange Statistics, which showcases a more 
intricate and detailed rhythmic foundation, over which rich pads 
and staccato synths set a tone of mystery and intrigue. Finally, 
the third original Gabacho is a more dancefloor-focused 4/4 
groove. Hypnotic bell-like melodies floating over an 
irresistible dark and stabby bass groove - this is most 
definitely one for the late nights.

On remixes, first up is Cologne's Tim Engelhardt. Tim is no 
stranger to Manjumasi, having collaborated with atish on 
Bullfrog in 2018. On this EP, he turns in a beautifully 
contemplative remix of Ebb and Flow. A strong bass-driven 
melodic riff that pushes and pulls tension right through the 
track in counterpoint to gentle lush melodies up top, very much 
evoking the title itself. Rounding out the package, Georgian 
producer Gacha Bakradze offers a stunning remix of Strange 
Statistics, perfectly balancing turn-of-the-millennium breakbeat 
nostalgia with cutting-edge modern sound design. The combination 
evokes a truly otherworldly heady and emotional sonic journey.
