Next up on Stil vor Talent is production outfit Space Food, all set at getting the vibes pouring and hips swaying with their newest, ‘Odyssey’ EP. Cutting a path of abstract-leaning elation and forthright danciness, the St Petersburg-based pair has us covered with four tracks spanning a wide range of styles and tropes, seamlessly connecting the dots betwixt zero-G bass maneuvers, sensually overwhelming prog build-ups and a sheer touch of quirky and immersive otherworldliness.
Fusing the ubiquitous horsepower of thunderous subs with the narrative edge of the finest deep-house epics, ‘Epsilone’ gets the ball rolling with outstanding rhythmic verve and transfixing flamboyance, as it eases us in a suspended headspace, halfway utter euphoria and melancholy-drenched atmospherics. An earworm Italo racer, ‘Hope’ trades the opener’s breadiness for an upfront fast-lane-ready, floor-it attitude. A trouble-brewing combo of steely oddity and synth-splashed ebullience, this one packs a serious punch and some indomitable floor-destroying FX.
A bespoke roller-coaster of a tune, ‘Metamorphosis’ attacks pedal to the metal and doesn’t relent throughout seven minutes of an assertive shelling of hi-intensity bass moves and 16-bit-like machine funk bound to crush everything in its wake. The final number and title-track ‘Odyssey’ comes as a culmination of Space Food’s bumpy riding, trance-inflected style, delivering the kind of fun and focussed club voodoo you can’t stay cold too. Geared up for big-room traction and cinematic synchronization, this is club music at its most strikingly boisterous and enveloping, high-powered yet euphonic.
