Presenting "A Reason to Distress," a four-track minimalist EP featuring two original tracks from Zky, with two invigorating remixes. Opening the album, Zky's instrumental track, "A Reason To Live For," ventures into the darker shades of minimal, its sinister edge calculatedly restrained. Knoll's remix breathes a new life into the track, turning it airier with synth lines that seem to whisper sweet somethings to your senses. The second original from Zky, "Distress," continues the minimalist journey, as an irresistible sputtering sound invites you to the dance floor. This track receives an electrifying reinterpretation by Bek⌀, pulling it further into a deeper, house-infused dub territory that leaves an indelible mark.
This is the last album in our first series of quadruple-EP concepts, stretching from DND004 to DND007, painting a unique sonic picture with each release, unfolding a larger narrative. Each EP has its own picture to paint, and when seen (or heard) as a whole, they will offer an enthralling audial journey. This concept caught our artists' imagination, and by the time the concluding piece drops, we hope you'll be fully swept away by the beats, too.
