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

             Croatian electronic music pioneers Ivo T Montina and Robert 
             Grizilo aka Cortex Thrill are joined by fellow Croatian 
             Oversound aka Alan Kranzelic on the superb 'Entities'. Since the 
             early 90's, and for more than 3 decades, Cortex Thrill have 
             championed their sound across Europe, gaining the affection of a 
             nation and amassing an army of fans. Their style has evolved 
             over the years, always finding new production techniques to 
             squeeze out the most vibrant and dynamic sounds. Considered with 
             legendary status here at Bonzai, we always welcome their latest 
             creation. Oversound has been a DJ since 1995 and also became a 
             pioneer of the Croatian House Music scene, playing at top events 
             throughout the country. In 1998 he hosted a local radio show and 
             in 1999 he opened the first vinyl record shop in Croatia  
             Oversound, from where took his artist name. We last saw him here 
             on his debut with a solid remix on Cortex Thrill's 'Dialectical 
             Monism' and we're delighted to see him return once again.

             'Entities' takes shape as a mini album with 6 diverse grooves 
             exploring various aspects of deep progressive and techy vibes. 
             First up we have 'Life Form', which intros with a warm kick drum 
             followed by a bubbling bassline and slicing hats. Snappy 
             percussions set the rhythms loose as striking synths weave an 
             intriguing narrative. 'Phenomena' follows, setting a more 
             direct, upfront groove with cosmic qualities. Set on a 
             foundation of tight beats and flurries of shuffling percussions, 
             strong basses and cascading synths generate an energetic groove 
             that piques interest with its intricate detail. 'Astral Form' is 
             up next, introing with a subdued kick drum which is joined by 
             creative percussions that set the tone for the groove. The track 
             takes on a mysterious persona with cinematic pads and emotive 
             arpeggios taking us on a journey. Warm, caressing basses add 
             depth while stark synth stabs and sequences add contrast. 
             'Terraforming' takes us past the midway point, generating a 
             trippy, infectious mover filled with subtle melodies and gritty 
             synth work. The track builds beautifully, with a high-pitched 
             melody at the core of the groove, enchanting the mind and 
             drawing us deeper into its grasp. The penultimate 
             'Gotterdammerung' ramps up the energy with a powerful, driving 
             construction made up of chunky beats, Gregorian voices and edgy 
             basses. Bright and melodic synths pave the way for an emotive 
             journey as more inviting voices come through. A solid groove 
             that will not disappoint. The Club Mix of 'Phenomena' rounds out 
             the release, delivering a smooth, proggy groove that will keep 
             the dancefloor moving. Nice and chunky beats with rhythmic 
             percussions set the tone as deep, bubbling basses shore up the 
             low-end. Distant melodic arps ebb and flow as the main riff 
             enchants. A rich and vibrant number for the late-night sessions, 
             not to be missed.
