MXV – Einrude [Eat My Hat Music]

Ziger’s Eat My Hat imprint ushers in the new year by welcoming MXV to the label for his debut single. Hailing from London, the UK artist first appeared in November of 2018 with a release on Gabriel Ananda’s Soulful Techno Records. 2019 saw further successes with quality outings for Balkan Connection, Droid9, ICONYC and Soundteller Records. Now continuing to build momentum into 2020 MXV debuts on Eat My Hat with ‘Einrude’ alongside remixes from Tantum and Weird Sounding Dude.

Beginning with the original mix MXV crafts a mystical sounding slice of progressive house. Bulbous beats, charged rhythms and striking effects begin the seven minute journey. Senses heighten as icy atmospheres and gaseous sweeps unite across a devilish first act. Percussive flurries and clustered motifs further advance the narrative, flowing effortlessly into an expansive break. Spanning close to two minutes in length the interlude saturates your senses with kaleidoscopic lines and a symphonic lead, opening up with each successive loop, before getting washed away in favour of stripped back drop and driving finale.

Making his Eat My Hat debut and providing the first interpretation of ‘Einrude’ is Tantum. Hailing from Germany, Thomas Koch aka Tantum has enjoyed a quick rise through the electronic underground. Upon making his debut on Ein2 in December of 2018, the Karlsruhe resident went to a hugely successful 2019, highlighted by releases on Juicebox Music, Monaberry and Poker Flat. Now following a contribution to Mango Alley’s ‘Augmented 001’ collection to begin the year, Tantum delivers an excellent rendition of ‘Einrude’. Taking a cue from the original, Tantum beefs the framework up for a tough yet spacey cut primed for dance floor destruction. The first act creates a dark narrative through astral artefacts and trailing effects, before opening up an emotional reservoir during the main break. Reflective yet astral it’s a unique centrepiece, creating a quiet calm and perfectly setting up an exhilarating final act.

Rounding out the release and providing the second and final interpretation of ‘Einrude’ is Weird Sounding Dude. Long regarded as one of India’s most intriguing artists, the Bangalore resident has found a home on Balkan Connection, Juicebox Music, Plattenbank and Strange Town Recordings. Now following a remix for Modern Agenda, Weird Sounding Dude makes his Eat My Hat debut with an inspired take on ‘Einrude’. The transcendent energy from the original translates well with a smooth, chunky low end ultimately setting the pace. The astral qualities have been reprocessed with a gorgeous effervescent sheen, while the main break adds just the right amount of drama and emotion to make the timely drop hugely impactful. A superb remix from Weird Sounding Dude which caps off another must have release from Ziger’s Eat My Hat Music.
