London based producer Eliphino comes with an absolutely breathtaking four track EP, and one of my favourite releases of the year so far, on culture magazine somethinkblue's offshoot label somethinksounds. Flawlessly blending elements of garage, house, two-step and dubstep to create emotionally steeped sounds, this EP far surpasses the tired preconceptions associated with the inevitable 'future garage' tag that this release will be undoubtably be given.
A side 'You'll Know' is a slice of pure goodness, melancholy female vocal samples sitting atop a light garage beat brings to mind recent output from fellow high achievers xxxy and Synkro, whereas 'LF', my favourite track on the EP, retains the rising synths and well worked samples but adopts a refreshingly different beat structure.
B sides 'Condensation' and I Just Cant' lower the tempo and break into straight up house territory. 'Condensation' strips the formula right down to the bare bones, with lo-fi drums complimenting a synth pattern oozing fuzzy warmth. 'I Just Cant' builds beautifully, adding layers upon layers of ever changing synths, bleeps and samples over shuffling drums and a hefty bassline.
