Raise EP EP edition

Christian Löffler’s ‘Raise EP’ is one of the most stunning pieces of recorded electronic music- at least that's what Glitterbug and the rest of c.sides thought when the demo was first played back in their Cologne studio, and they have been in love ever since. Christian Löffler has this magic touch to whatever he does, both as an audio and visual artist. The clarity and intensity of his work, in addition to the analogue warmth that his music contains, is unmatched. Played back loud, this seemingly calm EP turns into a dense club stormer, of the most explosive and unexpected kind. Hurray, an EP & an artist perfect for the c.sides imprint!!! The 'Raise EP' opens with 'Cord', containing Löffler’s deep round signature sound, bringing up a pumping deep bass with an elevating exalting slightly broken analogue polyphonic synthesizers, a pad intertwined with a warm hiss and hum, extending between melancholic and exhilarated, full and thriving, moving and utopic. A track that will take you by the hand with a warm, tight grip until the very last second. 'Glare', a track soft as a floating feather yet repetitive and hypnotic, harbors an untouchable resonance, beautiful chords, melody miniatures, a bouncing bass drum and percussion work that simply defies gravity. 'Raise', the EP's shining star is more of a shooting meteor, lighting up the sky. It's the sound of coming home, a familiar melody like a childhood memory stirring deep emotions of unforgettable moments: wind blowing in the hair, running under the moonlight, falling into a star sprinkled sky. But don't be mislead: this track is a prime-time rave monsterbut not one of the obvious kinds... just the way they like it at c.sides! The EP closes with 'Core', an ambient miniature, which like its title, digs deeper and deeper into the center, into the depths of the nucleus, until reaching the essence of the heart. Every good EP should make you cry with its last track. A1 Cord A2 Glare B1 Raise B2 Core
