Raz O’ Hara – El Zahir EP

ARTIST: RAZ O’HARA

TITLE: EL ZAHIR EP

LABEL: KINDISCH

Raz Ohara is back on Kindisch with another obsessive release, ‘El Zahir’.

A shuffling mix of acoustic guitar riffs, licks, natural percussion and of course Raz’s well known melancholic vocal lines all come together to generate a country folk feeling of the 60’s.

A dampened kick drives the energy deep and harmonicas seep into our minds and set our soul on fire. A fresh track for a hot summer day on the lake.

Acid Pauli takes the track and ‘acidizes’ it by adding, yep, acid lines and a very direct kick. The track gains more of a main time vibe, heightened energy and deeper bass allow this track to hold its own in a variety of set styles.

The final mix is an open air anthem delivered from The Sorry Entertainers M. Rux and Lotti. Using percussion of the same natural flavor and incorporating dirty synth lines, the two produce a heavier mix worthy of both dancefloors and home listening.

His particuar style divides lovers and envier since the very first day and i am pretty sure he likes that a lot. Wehenever you listen to a track of him you know immediately that it is him, making it a form of art for itaself – unpredictable, surprising, groovy and different.

The EP is out 8th August 2012.

Ranking is 8/10.
