Yacine Dessouki x NDRK – Dancers In The Dark EP [Sapiens]

The third artist releasing an EP as part of REGENERATION DAY II on October 2nd, a project conceived by Agoria’s Sapiens label, is Moroccan pair Yacine Dessouki and NDRK. The first REGENERATION DAY back in May was a huge success with Mooglie’s release picking up more than one million streams and counting on Spotify as well as being supported by Austin on Spotify ‘crate diggers’ and Bandcamp, so it very much succeeded in its mission to support and highlight the most exciting emerging artists from all over the world in these difficult times.

Yacine Dessouki is a regular at places like fabric and Printworks in London and brings his multicultural background into his music as well as organising his own immersive parties Anomalia & Blanche. He has developed his own unique voice in the studio and this debut EP proves that as it finds him linking up with NDRK.

Their Dancers in the Dark EP kicks off with the epic title track, a mix of organic and synthetic sounds and subtle rhythms that lifts you to the heavens before driving forwards. The deep grooves of ‘Unknown Tomorrow‘ has an enchanting lead that sounds exotic and worldly, ‘Undergo‘ is more deriving and direct with its big kicks but mellifluous synth modulations and ‘Rythmica‘ is masterfully melodic house for the peak of a night. ‘Arrival‘ ends on a sombre, introspective mood and late night grooves.
