LUAR - The Locked Room [OM022]

Back on COMO Records with "Snarecall EP", a darker, more intense collection of tracks that build on the raw energy of his previous work. This EP brings a heavier, deeper sound, with layered percussion and driving rhythms.

Each track taps into a primal energy, while exploring deeper, more atmospheric textures. The production is stripped back, focusing on a powerful groove that resonates with a darker edge. It's an EP that commands attention, pulling you in with hypnotic, relentless flow and a constant forward motion.

"Snarecall" balances between the raw and the refined, offering a collection that speaks to the power of simplicity while maintaining an intense energy that keeps the dancefloor moving.
