Mia Mendi & ASAS – Dunya [Rhetorical]

Simon Doty’s Rhetorical Music makes a much welcome return this week with a new EP from Mia Mendi and ASAS. We last heard from the Canadian imprint in March of this year with the remix edition of Rauschhaus’ ‘Theory of Everything’ EP. Now following a nine month hiatus Rhetorical returns with a hugely anticipated EP from Mia Mendi & ASAS alongside a remix from Simon Doty & Zein.

The title and showcase piece ‘Dunya’ leads the release off and features much loved UK vocalist Jinadu. The production is ultra crisp, highly detailed and yet hugely emotive. Not an easy thing to accomplish these days but creamy synths in combination with a powerful yet not overbearing vocal and timely modulation makes it goosebump worthy all way through. The companion piece ‘Vindicta’ comes in a touch more atmospheric and less distinct. Anchored by a full, meaty groove the piece moves through a free flowing storyboard of astral synths, gaseous atmospheres and esoteric effects. Dynamic claps add just the right amount of drama without destroying the meditative vibe and a timely break serves up a near one minute stretch of cinematic charm.

The lone interpretation of ‘Dunya’ finds Rhetorical label boss Simon Doty teaming up with sometime studio partner, Egyptian prodigy Zein. This cross continental pairing has brought many amazing moments in the past, not only for Rhetorical but Einmusika and Cenote as well. Now taking on ‘Dunya’ the duo craft what is likely their best production to date. Backed by a full driving groove, the energy comes up quite a lot and it’s techno sensibility makes it a perfect complement to the more progressive minded original. The metallic synths are deadly hooks and a dramatic, drummy, vocal led break seals it’s brilliance. Expect to be hearing this one a lot in the coming months. Rhetorical comes back in a big way here. Highly Recommended.
