GIGEE – Mind Games EP [Spectrum]

A student of the scene GIGEE, now based in Paris, has worked tirelessly on her craft. Honing her production and DJ skills, whilst nurturing, exploring and forcing the boundaries of her own sound. Releases for Mobilee, Katermukke and Desert Hearts have impressed and her sound – powerfully melodic with an adventurous progressive touch – now finds another spiritual home on Spectrum.

Title track Mind Games is a roof-raiser. Echoing staccato vocals and strong kick drum lay the foundation before GIGEE unveils her main melody. A stellar breakdown follows, rolling snares and even a splash of breakbeat, all coming together to forge an epic finale. More exhilarating feels on the flip as we’re whisked away on a fantastical musical wave. Is This A Dream? Perhaps. Long warm bass chords hold us secure as the vocal asks the question. Angelic vocals and piano then lead us to the summit, where anthemic stabs launch us even higher.
