Magdalena – Outlines EP [Bedrock]
Long time underground stalwart Magdelena continues to flourish with a superb new EP on Digweeds legendary Bedrock label.
Magdelena has come up through the Hamburg scene and gone on to international acclaim. She opened and helped to run the city’s EGO club with Solomun and Adriano Trolio – who also started the Diynamic label – and went on to become a core part of the family with her standout DJ sets. She soon moved on to producing her own music and then her own show on Ibiza Sonica and residency at Cova Santa in Ibiza. Her own SHADOWS party has also brought real class to venues all over the world and now after further releases on Damian Lazarus Rebellion imprint, and others, she brings more heat to Bedrock.
Sublime opener ‘Outlines‘ is an emotional six minute journey with lush chord sequences riding up and down the scales. They bring light and a majestic sense of elegance to the deep rooted grooves and are sure to get clubs in motion. The more moody and direct ‘Lifelines‘ has a darker edge, with tension in the synths and somberness in the organ chords as well as real power in the rolling kick drums that will cast a spell on all who hear them. Last of all is ‘Voices‘, a turbulent deep techno track that has an epic breakdown and oriental melodies ringing out over booming bass. Dramatic and epic, it is a suitably standout closer.
