Second up on the release is “L’Obscurite”. This mystifying track utilizes the a sense of shock with a hypnotic pulse throughout the track mixed with sonic booms and bleep. Much like the first track, “L’Obscurite” also incorporates an original vocal cut from Amelie that adds a tasteful dark touch to the hypnotic production.
Wrapping up the EP, Fjaak adds their own spin on Amelie’s track “higher”. The self proclaimed Berlin techno boyband transforms this already banging techno record into acid infused rave masterpiece. Fjaak keeps the integrity of Amelie’s dark vocals in tact while adding crazy acid sounds and thumping kick turning this track into a ravers dream.
