Qulinez – Pegasus [November 3 – Cr2 Records]

by JP Hadley · October 23, 2014

As producers who prefer quality over quantity, Qulinez knows a thing or two about tantalizing their fans. The Swedes have been quiet since March, when they hit SPRS with “Rising Like The Sun,” and continue to label-hop with their next track, “Pegasus”. The duo had an amicable split from Size Records, and have been able to shop their sound to different labels, including Dim Mak Records and now Cr2 Records. Even still, “Pegasus” was introduced to the world by Size Records boss Steve Angello, and he dropped the track a few more times before MYNC began to spin it in September. Qulinez will no longer be able to tempt us with this progressive bomb, since it will be released through Cr2 Records on November 3.

Think back to when Qulinez burst onto the scene with “Troll”: it had a catchy melody that lured you in to a relentless electro saw drop. “Pegasus” maintains the melody that Qulinez has been able to fine-tune overtime, and then that melody stands alone as the inspiration for both the breakdown and drop. They also left the saw synths at home, working this time with a fantastic layering of softer synths which make a majestic sound when all put together. Breakdown and build are fused together, and the drop that follows both does a wonderful job in both triggering an emotional response and driving any crowd nuts.
