Made In TLV & Amitre – Roads [Asymmetric Recordings]

Lonya’s Asymmetric Recordings rounds out a successful year with a new single from Made In TLV & Amitre. Hailing from Tel Aviv, Made In TLV have had a great 2018 with releases on Sudam and Inhale Records. Now closing out the year on an even greater note they team up with Amitre for their debut collaboration ‘Roads’ alongside remixes from Subandrio and Mark Brainford.

Quite modern in design, ‘Roads’ incorporates a wide array of elements making it a unique cross pollinated creation. It’s tight punchy framework, ethnic motifs and organic drums create a wonderful sense of space for it’s sleek melodic storyboard. A touch grandiose at times yet expertly pulled back for moments of rhythmic tension, particularly during a second act highlighted by a smart tonal theme.

The first interpretation of ‘Roads’ is provided by Asymmetric label artist Subandrio. Widely regarded as Sri Lanka’s premiere progressive house producer, the Colombo resident has also found a home on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Cid Inc’s Replug Records. Now following releases on Beatfreak Recordings and OLD SQL Recordings, Subandrio returns to Asymmetric with a stellar rendition of ‘Roads’. The melodic sensibilities from the original translate quite well here and with a beefed up framework it sits nicely in the peak time progressive arena. The main arp really stands out across the first act, fluid and effervescent in feel, it’s cosmic appeal perfectly sets up a dreamy mid-section and emotive finale.

The release concludes with Mark Brainford returning to the label and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘Roads’. The Ukrainian artist first appeared on the Israeli imprint in June of this year with a contribution to the label’s ‘High Season’ collection. His take on ‘Roads’ sits as a nice complement to the previous two versions with it tough, crunchy design. From intense beginnings comes a poignant almost hauntingly cinematic break. This shift in narrative is not only hugely emotive but paves the way for an exhilarating finale. It rounds out what is not only a great release for Asymmetric but caps off what has been a sensational year for the Israeli imprint, and with Lonya and Maydan at the helm 2019 will no doubt be ever better.
