Boris Noiz - Omniforma EP (YM011}
Yellow Machines
12"

Razor sharp electro beats, sound design elements, gritty bass treatments with cinematic string elements that glide throughout on this new four-tracker from Boris Noiz for the ever-reliable Yellow Machines stable. Huge lead track ‘Omniforma’ is stripped back razor sharp electro with an immense drop that will smash any floor. ‘Puls’ features bleep bass and snare workouts, with intricate drum programming to keep the tune rolling deep and dark. On ‘Panorama’, sound design elements and super subs make the track very heavy and unique. Finally, from the distance beautiful strings are head on the superb sci - fi synth treatment of ‘Aurora’. ScanOne - "Been playing this EP on a few big systems now and can honestly say they just smash the place." Warlock - "Twisted up ear bending mutoid electroid bass. Good to see Boris back at the helm. ‘Puls’ and ‘Omniforma’ in particular are the killers."

TRACKS PREVIEWED : A1. Omniforma   A2. Puls   B1. Panorama   B2. Aurora
