Review: LOMEZ – AFTERHOURS EP

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Full of diversity and textures, Afterhours presents listeners with a unique warehouse styled 9 nine track musical adventure. Lomez starts us off nice and easy with Summerside featuring Atnarko. He really shows off the depth of his diversity and influences Summerside wraps the musicality of progressive into the underling deep laidback grooves. On my mind takes the vibes up a notch into the realm of Tech house bringing punchier drums, a darker atmosphere and an edgy floor shaking bass. An instrumental drum-free six and a half minutes of pure deep progressive atmosphere and relaxing vibes. Distance & Love is a good example of the musical abilities of Lomez. Smiles in my sleep featuring the vocals Phillip Charles brings...
