The EP ‘Secret Things’ by Ekala from Tbilisi, Georgia is an intricate journey of electronic minimal beats, passionate palatable sounds, diva-inspired, dubby, danceable and chill. ‘Time to Love’ begins with a crunchy snare and progresses into throbbing beats accented by light keys and poignant female vocals. ‘Secret’ follows with booming kick drums and electronic dark synths, over bright ambiance, riffs and passion inspired vocal snippets including ‘Love will find a way’. The tune ‘Violent Passion’ assuages with soothing ambiance, intelligent arpeggio synths and full bassy beats, seductive and beckoning. Ending on a bright, warm vibe, is ‘Sunset’ with purple moving bright synths, a gentle full kick and light snare, grooving with soulful vocal slices and words. Fresh, moving and pleasing, Ekala expresses her ‘Secret Things’ with vigor. Fans of Drexia, Lusine, Laub and Boards of Canada will likely find this album irresistible.

New Jersey’s Stape Mega delivers ‘Metrica Mega’ an LP on Cold Busted with mechanical zeal, Electronic, Downtempo and Hip Hop beats and styles crafted with robotic celebration. Catching my ear immediately was ‘Mechanica’ a short piece with intriguing samples, pulsing game boy sounds, and dark beats. ‘Automation Nation’ follows a pleasingly languid tune with waning guitars, Lo-fi crackles, rubbery hip beats and a Goth tinged singer crooning. ‘Dynamics’ comes fresh and immediate, a tune with a spicy melody and lively bassline at about 92BPM, with dope breaks, solid snares and staccatos. Another vignette, ‘Water Clock’ is a bleeped out Downtempo tune at 72 BPM with an eerie dark synth, beats with brushed on hi hats and intoxicating subtle deep bass notes. The sheer multifaceted, electronic goodness of this album will keep you listening, an experimental and underground genre bending, and enticing piece of work from Stape Mega.
