Poltergeist EP

Following their well crafted remix of Niko Maxen's 'Whistle N' Flute', Shadow Sanctuary is proud to introduce a full EP from Leeds based newcomers and self proclaimed 'space voyagers' Twenty2. Individually known as Will Crawshaw and Secondself, the pair have notched up an impressive run of signings since their debut release earlier in the year on labels such as: Madtech, Nurvous and Resonance.

The title track 'Poltergeist' is a tale of two halves. It starts it's life as a groove based affair: punchy beats and a playful bassline underlay sporadic stabs and a chopped vocal. As the arrangement unfolds, darker forces come into play: sinister brass and an erie build up create the perfect juxtaposition. Whilst maintaining an inauspicious air, 'Troubled' takes a more percussive course. Subtle atmospherics preside over off beat kicks and skippy beats, before shadowy synths and ghostly vocals bring it to it's natural peak. Finally label boss Dexter Kane drops his take on 'Poltergeist'. Whilst keeping one eye very much on the original, he strips it back and plumps it up for a more peak time offering.
