Sound Synthesis - Xjenza Eletronika EP

[gated]

For the second release on Gated, Maltese musician Sound Synthesis takes us on an emotive electro journey.

The A-side, though, is all about the floor. It kicks off with the atmospheric bass-driven Jupiter Bazz, before taking a decidedly Kraftwerkian turn with the EP’s title track, Xjenza Eletronika.

Flip to the B for three deeper, emotional cuts, with Traveller’s melodic intentions apparent from the off.

Waiting Rooms continues the deepness, before the EP is rounded out with a little snifter of positivity on How It Feels.

The EP’s digital-only bonus track Immersive Rhythms should need little introduction, the title giving the game away somewhat, but a sneaky little acid line works its magic in this spacey and, yes, immersive track.

Sound Synthesis is the moniker of Malta’s Keith Farrugia, who has been releasing music since his 2009 debut on Paul Blackford’s Militant Science label. Sound Synthesis is his melodic bass-driven electro project.

Out on June 28 on 12" vinyl and digital via our Bandcamp https://gatedrecordings.bandcamp.com or in stores via our distributor Lobster.

Produced by Keith Farrugia

Keith had a project with the sadly-departed Microlith which I think you'll dig. Apparently there are quite a lot of unreleased tracks still to come out:

This is his ambient project:

And he has been collaborating with Datawave

cheers man! Yeah we're proud of it. Keith (Sound Synthesis) is working on a remix for us of another artist we're releasing soon, plus a split 12 with Datawave that should be ready in spring 2020.
