Chris Gray - FMlk3 [Freebeat]

A1 - FMIk3 Dark

B1 - FMIk3 Cloudgate

B2 - FMIk3 Tranquil


The first release on the new Freebeat label from Spain, associated in part with Downbeat label . Chicago producer Chris Gray (Deep4Life) contributes the music on the label's debut twelve. "FMIK Dark" is hypnotic and groovy Unique percussion rattles on and on while small fluctuations and nuances in the groove provide variation for the dancers. "FMIK3 Cloudgate" is more techy and dark in its outlook but still retains the unique, rattling percussion that’s synonymous with this producer. Towards the end of the track we get a huge bassline drop along with a killer flute solo that makes for some intense energy. One of those tracks that evolves into something pretty special after a dramatic build up. "FMIK3 Tranquil" closes the EP and has ethereal, dreamy soundscapes alongside cascading flute elements from the beginning. Its steady, restrained drums and floaty, concentric feel make it ideal for the early sunrises or the long drive home. Introspective, radiant and dreamy.
