EEKKOO – Towers (Original Mix)
Initially posted to mau5trap's Soundcloud as brief ID track, EEKKOO's "Towers" is another shining example of the young producer's music first approach towards his art. Indicative of the label he calls home, the mau5trap understudy's latest brings to life a nightmarish haze of sandblasted synthwork and mechanical hisses. A death march of macabre progressions and razor sharp sound design, "Towers" marks another un-marred output from the Montreal-based prodigy - and the start of a healthy career led by innovative rather than assimilation.
