Some Things Rise EP
Life and Death

Life and Death’s place in the clubbing zeitgeist is captured succinctly here, with a four-track EP that embodies the sound that’s connected so much with crowds: deep, dark, dirty progressive in all but name (or Beatport genre classification). The four artists showcased cover an impressive amount of ground, with Sei A in particular fashioning a sludgy bassline that’s begging to be unleashed on a dancefloor at 3am. Dark, deep and grandiose in all the right measures.
