This EP was released on the earth-shaking Visionquest Label (Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves) a week or two ago. I think it's a phenomenal EP because it consists of three drastically different songs all equally infectious for their own reasons.
Kicking off the EP is Lauren Lane's "Lazer Eyes" featuring Jaw. The only thing I really have to say about this one is if it doesn't make you want to dance, you're probably a total douchebag that hates fun. Sooooooo funky, incredibly catchy. From the lyrics and vocals, to the funky bassline, to the heavily reverbed-out snare, this is a big track that defines the recent quasi-renaissance of 80's dance music.

Next comes "Alice" by Qbeck with Julia Govor on the vocals. The bass hook on this track is the first thing that stands out for me...I can't get enough of it. Add in Julia's smooth, soothing vocals and you have a fantastic track.

The EP wraps up with "All Over All Kinds" by Clarian. This is the slowest of the bunch (115 bpm), and the thing that stands out most for me is that atmospheric high synth line that's slightly held back for most of the journey. Then, with maybe 2 minutes to spare, the bass and low synth lines begin a crescendo, ultimately peaking in the full return of the high synth line. Well done.

Hope you enjoy this EP as much as I do. And if you like what you hear, you can show support and purchase here. Cheers!
