- AMB feat. Omid Pajooh: Pilgrimage
First up is a brilliantly produced house track with vocals by the London-based Iranian singer, Omid Pajooh. A kind and gentle tune with triplets, pleasing melodies, and a wicked hook of heavily processed vocals that sneaks right in the centre of the nervous system.
- AMB: Urchin
The hilarious Chinese vocals powerfully set the mood for this track right in the beginning. It would be a little difficult to tell exactly what genre we are looking at but up to about halfway through, it is certainly close to house and well.. After that, things go a bit off track and it all ends in some weird dub somewhere near the end of the Universe.
- AMB: Theory
Glitch hop at its best - fat and groovy bassline, rich melodies, and tiny bits of glitches and errors everywhere in the hip-hop space. 'Theory' cites the chilled glitchy coolness of the West Coast while heading a bit towards the Far East in the breakdown.
You can find the tunes at Beatport (for 4 weeks exclusive, then all other places).
