I loved the cool, groovy deep house and tech output that came from Swedish producer Jeff Bennett’s studios some years back. Seriously big tracks in my record box they were. But it’s been a while since I’ve really heard much from him, for one reason or another. Our paths just haven’t crossed.

So thanks to Nathan Coles’ Wiggle label for bringing us a new EP from the man. Myriadz is typically slinky, led by warm, pretty tech stabs and a groovy b-line sequence, with percussion that’s left simple yet plump, with plenty of room to breathe. Well chosen reverbs give the track its sense of atmosphere.

Stix amps things up somewhat, a simple snappy beat allowing various synths to do their bidding. Spooky hollow ones, rasping leads and weird uber-flanging mischievous ones all take their turns over the murky, prog-tinged bass. Shuffling percussion adds a lift to the latter half of the track, and the overall feel is a Sven Väth-esque sense of elec-tech melodrama.

Coles and David Coker team up pon the remix of Stix, giving a simple but effective jacking groove with pitched-down vocals and energy rolling throughout. Just like Wiggle does best.
