What do you get when you mix synth-wave with Italian disco, new wave, and a bit of dark wave? If you’re British producer / DJ Radondo, you get his new Deluge EP.
It starts with the bumping, thumping “Virtue,” which will have you on the dance floor in moments with its early Ministry-like percussion and dangerously sexy synth-bass. “Centrale” sounds like something from your favorite 1980s late night action-mystery film or something you haven’t heard since you stumbled into a Detroit night club in 1985.
The subtle, unintelligible female vocal sounds on the title track (performed by Neu-Romancer) provide a neat contrast to the dark-tinged synths, and the closer, “Overflow,” feels like, believe it or not, an upbeat goth track.
It’s a cool EP, and Radondo moves around all these different genres with ease, mixing them together in a way that’s not too heavy on nostalgia.
Keep your mind open.
