Release number forty-five comes from Italian producer Bar.ba, showcasing his knack for unique sound design and versatile musicality. Each of the tracks on Timeless offers a nod to the past, present, and future of dance music. Velvet Lathe is the most delicate and sensitive of the lot, flowery melodies intertwining with quirky vocal edits. Mechanical Heart moves into a more angular, abstract realm with dirty bass, edgy textures and complex overtones in a ripping synth lead. Old Workhorse continues in that vein with a strong retro melody forming the foundation of the track as frenetic hi-hats shuffle around the fundamental groove. On remix duties, legendary English producer Nathan Fake offers a swirling, kaleidoscopic interpretation of Velvet Lathe, reworking the vocal samples up to the edge of recognizability in a psychedelic, expansive tapestry of sound. A continuously building crescendo evokes a real sense of exploration, a strong statement of artistic intent from the seasoned producer. Finally, label co-founder Mark Slee turns in a deep tech reworking of Mechanical Heart, his Electric Aorta mix wraps the distinctive lead in evocative textured pads, over a bed of micro-tuned percussion detail.
