VNTM – Deceiving Tendencies [Spectrum]
Following major league releases on Afterlife and his own imprint Apparition, Dutchman VNTM makes his debut on Spectrum, stamping down his pristine melodic techno mark on the label’s 20th release. ‘Deceiving Tendencies‘ and ‘Disrupting Machines‘: evocative titles for these apocalyptic times. Two tracks, two universes, two transcendental opportunities to momentarily leave this reality and be whisked away on huge, swooping sonic waves. ‘Deceiving Tendencies’ takes the lead; A widescreen progressive tale laced with tense strings and soaring textures that lift you gently but make no promise to bring you back down to earth. Meanwhile ‘Disrupting Machines’ keeps us in deep space. Expect premium zero-gravity feels as the track’s elements appear to float around us and the unhurried, palpitating groove gradually twists in and out of the stars, light years away from the current realities.
