Regent emerged only in 2020, but has fired out quality tunes on Planet Rhythm Records, Arts Collective and Warg Records since then. His already extensive catalogue of standout releases combines tough and rapid grooves with cerebral qualities and a real depth of writing and sound design, resulting in timeless yet avant-garde material optimised for the dance floor. For that reason, he is one of the new forces emerging from the German capital and why his next EP, ’Coral Knife’, sees him find a perfect home on SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint as he returns with his first 12” on the label following his appearance on the ‘Federation Of Rhythm II’ compilation earlier this year. The tight and funky ’Brickyard’ opens with a high-speed groove and a taught synth riff darting about the mix to seductive effect, before ’Driftage’ gets more raw with rickety percussion over bulky drums. The synths are dubby and liquid as they get smeared about the mix to bring dynamism to the groove. There is then darkness and heaviness to ’Nocta’ with weighty kicks and alluring vocal sounds drifting through the late-night airwaves. Title track ’Coral Knife’ cannot fail to sweep dancers off their feet with its fizzing synths and smooth drum loops overlaid with icy hi-hats that get you into a meditative state, while ’Encoder’ layers up bleeps and squeaks over a signature linear groove that is detailed with muffled vocals and distant cosmic stars. As always with Mutual Rytm, the package rounded out with an impressive digital bonus in the form of ’Multiversa’ - a driving and thunderous techno cut that closes the show emphatically. ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
