On his follow-up to ROOS10, French DJ and producer Adam BFD lets imagination thrive with five mesmerizing breaksy house cuts, best heard under a star-lit sky. Duality flows seamlessly throughout the whole record, Adam harnessing the power to connect everyday experiences with a higher state of consciousness.
The EP kicks off with 'Digital Tales' which layers wistful secrets over mood-altering pads; it's hypnotic undertone grounding and continuous. 'Cirrus Dreamz' ascends even further into the clouds, it's steady pace expertly infused with cosmic melody and shuffling rhythms.
In a world driven by hyper-connectivity, Adam's productions are a welcome reminder to stop and explore, none more so than in the immersive world of B side opener '1st sight'. Dynamic percussion provides the movement, while meditative sonics produce the feeling of being swept up in a magic carpet and taken along for the ride. Adam's depth of field widens in title track 'Rose', a quasi-epic composition combining all the best elements of house and breakbeat.
The record comes to a contemplative halt with 'Siniestro' - an ambient bubble-bath with field recordings poignantly placed across developing pads yearning for connection; showcasing another side to a producer who knows how to tug at the heartstrings.
