Axel Karakasis - Box / Maze [Evolution]

The legendary Axel Karakasis is back on Evolution with "Box" opening the EP, employing bubbling sub bass and persistent riffing over his trademarked rhythm section. Industrial stabs and cavernous effects add even more class as the affair unfolds via a sly, spooky synth phrase. "Maze" picks up from there and kicks things up a notch as dominant synths take center stage and rocksteady drums stomp away effortlessly, in what we speculate is a tribute to the Athenian hotspot of the same name.
