Episode 4 of the Baroque Sunburst saga features Belgrade Ambassador Zarko Komar - aka Feloneezy - whose personal and intimate Uptempo production-style has previously found a home on Hyperdub.

"Axis to Axis" is a four-tracker that goes hard on resampling, blending Jungle and Juke with field recordings. The EP captures us in a hypnotic psychedelia, lubricated by moments of Dub and Jazz, with the unexpected fragments of vocals interrupting to drag the listener back to Earth.

It’s not so surprising on a little investigation into the producer: a sparse back catalogue it may be, but no less illustrious for the minimal output — Opal Tapes, Hyperdub and Teklife have all made home on compilations for the Serbian’s music to date. But Baroque Sunburst are first to the punch when it comes to a full solo release, which we hope will be the first of many.

Whereas his full creativity seems to run rampant on tracks like ‘Now I’m Gonna Miss Another One‘ and ‘Celia‘— filled with distracted patterns deviating from a linear progression, and creative snapshots of sound and field recordings — the more dancefloor leanings of Baroque Sunburst come to the fore on ‘Rain‘, a d’n’b/jungle-informed beat that throws ambience (both nostalgic and futuristic) together with unique clattering percussion.

The balance of forward-thinking dance tracks with the more cerebral and pieces pull the listener in, to become absorbed in the abstract concepts of the record. It’s another power move from one of our favourite young labels going right now, an unmissable piece for lovers of obscurities and different grooves.
