We program the time machine to take us to 1999 with this new EP from INVŌKER. Based in Paris, the Frenchman specializes in nuanced melodic electronica that delivers absorbing rhythmic energy, cerebral enchantment and spiritual alignment all at once. This four-tracker sees him move through a variety of moods, while holding true to his distinct sound from start to end, while DC Salas steps up for remix duties.

Starting with ‘1999’ transports the listener back in time, with 808 cowbells, squelchy warehouse hoover sounds and reverbed vocal clips emanating a retro feel. Emotive pads and crisp beats interact playfully as the main thrust of the track pushes things forward. Eventually we move into the second half, where a fizzing main riff is juxtaposed with the smoother elements of the track to great effect.

Next is ‘Drainer’, a creepy audio excursion with a darker feel and a more pofaced outlook. The low end oscillates with potency as instructions from a command center are uttered in the background. It’s like the soundtrack to a space battle, with galactic fighters lined up ready to leave the mothership...

With ‘Nami (Midnight)’ INVŌKER takes us straight into the interplanetary funk inviting us to a cosmic disco. A simple, bright melody is the main hook as whiplash effects and mesmerizing atmospherics guide us into an energizing breakdown. This one will whisk you away from your everyday life into a place of deep consciousness and awareness.

Lastly, DC Salas steps up for a rework of ‘Drainer’. His remix enters the nu-disco with heavy hitting beats and a captivating, moody b-line. Salas adds in plenty of emotion and the progression is excellent, as the track goes through three different stages.
