about

The Safari ep is Brendon Moeller's third ep for Third Ear, following the Jazz Space ep (3EEP-068) and the One Mans Junk ep (3EEP-088). Again we have selected 4 cuts of varying mood and intensity to create an ep offering many possibilities for the dj and a rewarding listening experience.

A1 Traffic (new wipers mix) is a driving wide-screen track which will turn the dancefloor into a heaving mass of frequencies and beats. This is close to a peak-time track, a high intensity track that holds the vibe in a state of impending release underpinned with a deep, open groove. 126bpm.

A2 Slight Transition takes the vibe very deep and keeps it there. A simple (genuinely less is more) drum pattern of a lightly hit snare drum, hi-hat and occasionally shaken guiro over a hypnotic bass pattern, hold the track in place for nearly seven minutes. A masterful control of tension offering the dj a number of options for where to take the dancefloor from this moments respite. 119bpm

B1 Fixer is a track for very near the end of a set. It is intensely melodic; a track to be dropped after the dancers have grooved their way through all the beats and rhythms the dj has given them. A syncopated groove is created with a heavy bass and dancing hi-hats going off like fireworks, cut up with asymetric chord stabs. Over this, Brendon Moeller surprised us by dropping a great Mini-Moog solo. Euphoric it most definitely is. 125bpm.

B2 Safari. the end of three eps of fine techno, Brendon Moeller takes us home in what can only be described as a spacy, jazze, dub workout. Skittering echoed flute and snare drum maintain an ever-evolving dialogue through the track, over another dialogue between the bass and drums. All in all a perfect end to another fine ep.
