Ny2La Ep

• Track Listing

New York-based DJ and producer M A N I K aka Christopher Manik follows releases for Ovum Recordings, Poker Flat, and Hot Creations with his debut for BPitch Control. Synth-funk track "Echo 3000" features a 4/4 beat enlarged by bouncing basslines, gritty kicks, and hypnotic vocal samples. "Acid Sandwich (feat. MC Kew G)" matches a pulsating 303 against some rough 909 claps, with M A N I K's vocals and the overall raw aesthetic recalling Green Velvet. "Power" evolves into a deep, pushing floor beast with rave arpeggios. The hefty chords of "House of Cards" also reflect the EP's old-school charm.
