Ilya Mosolov – Touch My Soul (BUSTED19)

January 27th, 2010 | By Cold Busted

Ilya Mosolov releases his second full length on Cold Busted called ‘Touch My Soul’ a mesmerizing Breakbeat album with lush melodies, instruments and electronic sounds.  ‘Learn To Do Miracles’ begins with a light piano riff, warm soundscapes and drops in with beats at around 120 BPM, progresses, flows and ends beautifully.  ‘Lights of Paradise’ sails in with bright synths, bleeps and upbeat drums with subtle glitching effects and a posh melody.  Following is ‘Volga’ with warm strings, and playful beats dropping into acoustic bars and positive notes, the guitar compelling and fresh, the electronic resonance sweet.  ‘Tlaloc’ features active acid basslines and wonky melodies, the beats progressive yet gentle with layers of light bongo drums and piano notes giving more life to the tune.  ‘Raindrops’ splatters in with high synths, piano scales and notes, with a gratifying upbeat rhythm, light snare hits and slightly distorted mid and sub bass humming for a full sound.  ‘Salamander’ switches gears into broken beats and erupts into faster Jungle break beats and amen breaks at around 175 BPM with a light sub bass pulsing, soundscapes and airy synths.  True to his background in classical symphonic music and love for electronic music the album reflects Ilya’s influences and innovation.  ‘Touch My Soul’ is uplifting, sincere and features loungey and melodic Breakbeat music of different shades with keen composition and effects.
