Gorje Hewek follows up last year’s impressive ‘Life EP’ on Watergate Records, with a new 5-track package brimming with a collaborative spirit. The work also marks the Watergate label debut of the legendary Hernan Cattaneo.
The artist is a mainstay of the All Day I Dream collective and a master of intricately woven electronic compositions, which also transfix the dancefloor. For his return contribution to Watergate Records he brings a string of cohorts in toe – Dulus, Polo & Molac from his excellent Shanti Records imprint, alongside ADID affiliate Roy Rosenfeld and Argentinean great Hernan Cattaeno.
The opener ‘Altitude’ is a dreamy bass-driven heater that unfolds beautifully over an eight-minute period and is highlighted by a key-driven melody that’s both playful and emotive. ‘Astro World’ is an eclectic slice of organic house that captivates with a string-laden break before dropping down into a rhythmic second half. The EP’s title track is a silky sunset cut resplendent with twinkling pads that has enough groove to seduce a dusty dancefloor. ‘Vida’ begins life as a slinky percussive jam, before the dam breaks and a colorful river of melody drives the track home. A delight. ‘Kaleidoscope’ stays true to its name driven by a lush chord melody that cascades throughout. A gem made for big moments. The work rounds out with a chunky revision of ‘Altitude’ courtesy of Volen Sentir.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Kaleidoscope’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
