Myriadd ‎– Beyond This Life

The latest outing on Crème’s JAK series comes from an unknown UK house producer that’s shrouded in mystery. And although we know next to nothing about Myriadd, his record is packed with a collection of tracks that continue to channel the rhythmical embodiment of Chicago – throbbing bass-lines, short, sharp 303 modulations and that crisp 707 percussion – through contemporary production techniques, producing music that sounds both vintage and evolutionary.

The opening tune, ‘Beyond This Life’, glistens with gold flecked pads that fall from deep space, acting as the canvas on which this track is painted. All the other parts compliment it perfectly, creating a complete painting of interesting, deep house which exudes warmth and vibrancy.

‘A Hazy Memory’ takes us on a minor departure from ‘Beyond’, dropping you straight into a reverb drenched dance-floor, where your only concern is the mind altering acid-attack that appears to be slowly emerging from a beat packed with the lifeblood of quality music.

Likewise ‘Keep On Searching’ submerges listeners in an aquatic landscape full of warm undulations and funk-speckled synth-licks that slowly merge and change, accompanied by subtle vocal mutterings and staccato pads that are in a constant battle to break through the fluid patterns that drive the rhythm. ‘The Outer Limits’ takes us from sea to land with a solid kick drum and ominous bass line carrying us along a path littered with angelic stabs, soulful melody and choppy percussion.

Every track on the E.P continues to perpetuate the theme of records you could hear both on the dance-floor and in the bedroom, marrying the elements that keep a club moving with those that keep music enthusiasts interested.

The result is a release consisting of interesting and contemporary house masterpieces built on top of the key elements that made the music great in the first place.
