Releases B.A.X. – Serenade to Earth [Sound Avenue] By Release Promo Posted on 9th April 2020 6 min read 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on Linkedin The latest release from Madloch's Sound Avenue imprint welcomes B.A.X. back to the label for his debut EP. The Vietnamese artist first appeared on Belgian imprint in January of this year with a remix of Madloch and Subnode's 'Lion's Mane'. Classically trained and borderless in his approach to production, the Ho Chi Minh City resident has also found a home on fryhide, Manual Music and Sound Avenue affiliate 3rd Avenue. Now embarking on one of the most creative projects of his career B.A.X. presents his 'Serenade to Earth' EP. Sitting in the creative space between electronica and deep house, it is the enchanting sounds of 'Into the Aura' which leads the release off. On a bed of clever beat patterns lays tantalizing arps and gaseous atmospheres. Layers of percussion add swing and drive leading into the break, while otherworldly effects steal the air. Haunting overlays highlight the centerpiece, adding moments of hope and reflection, before effortlessly shifting energy into a classy drop as the primary motifs reconvene for an emotive finale. The EP's second and also title selection follows suit with organic beats and pleasurable themes. Deep, intricate and undeniably groovy, it's a heartfelt journey into the depths of emotive house. Warm swells and layers of exotic percussion set the foundation for a narrative of dulcet pianos and tranquil arps. Cosmic creativities add further depth leading into a meditative break, before wispy effects and rising atmospheres usher in a glowing third movement. Rounding out the release is 'Dandelions' which finds B.A.X. drawing on his New Age / Ambient roots. Having scored several short and full length films it has always been a genre B.A.X. has excelled in flexing. Smooth, elegant and a touch pensive, it's an incredibly charming six-minute journey. Cascading pianos marry symphonic swells and unique artefacts, as icy atmospheres elevate mood and emotion, before elegantly peaking and getting washed away in a trail of exquisite sonics. It rounds out an inspired collection of music from B.A.X., making his debut EP for Sound Avenue a most memorable one.
