Crackazat - In the sky EP

B2 Dark

Crackazat seamlessly blends contemporary electronics with dancefloor euphoria on his new record “In the sky” 

Crackazat has had quite a run of amazing releases on Heist since his first outing back in 2021 with Alfa. The follow-up EP in ’22 and his mini album ‘Senses’ released last year have shown that Heist is the perfect label for him to show his keyboard wizardry and broad musical influences. Whether he’s doing his ‘Monday Jams from his home for his dedicated Bandcamp followers, or he’s on the road to South Africa where he has a huge following, Crackazat always brings something special with his music. ‘In the sky’ hits you right in the feels, and  sees the talented musician navigate from synth-happy dancefloor cuts to electronic & jazzy deephouse. 

What might stand out most on his new record is how Crackazat feels totally at ease with all these different styles and how he blends his voice seamlessly in the tracks to add depth, meaning, and energy. This might be most apparent on the title track, which is built around a syncopated ‘Alfa-esque’ key loop (Crackazat fans will know what we’re talking about here). There’s gorgeous vocal chops and warm arpeggiated synths in the background that give the track some texture, while the percussion shuffles along in perfect swing with the energy of the track. Add some lovely strings, leads, and a moody breakdown, and you’ve got yourself a fine piece of dancefloor magic.  

On ‘Burning’, Crackazat channels his inner rave kid. There’s 90’s inspired percussion, a honky piano loop, and some very catchy & quirky vocal chops. He freely sprinkles claps and snares around like it’s Christmas and the big breakdown has the kind of madness-inducing that gets every clubber going! EP closer ‘Dark’ has Crackazat in his most contemplative mode; a vibe he always loves to explore on his Heist outings. The bass is deep, the kick heavy, and the synth licks are mellow but powerful His voice and effects give this track a beautiful extra dimension that would even make Fred Again jealous. The stripped-back percussion has clear influences from contemporary African dance music, which adds yet another layer to Crackazat’s broad sonic landscape. All and all, Dark is a track that makes you want to close your eyes and just sway into oblivion. 

Crackazat once again manages to take us on a deep trip into his sonic world with his new record and showcases a level of craftsmanship that most of us can only dream of. ‘In the sky’ is a lovely end to 2024 on Heist and we hope you enjoy the music.  
 
As always, play it loud and dance, dance, dance!

Clone Jack For Daze back to it's roots with some deep and powerful Chicago house tracks. This time it's Morning Factory on duty with a beautiful melodic and emotive two tracker! No secret that the CJFD series is inspired by the heritage of Chicago house music in all it's forms. Morning Factory are taking us back in a time machine to the early days of Chicago labels such as Relief, Warehouse and Dance Mania with releases from guys like Tim Harper, G-Strings, Paul Johnson and Ron Trent. Back then young guys who were pushing boundaries with deep emotive house tracks containing a raw machine funk that was an essential part of house music in that period of the late 80's and very early 90's. The days that fragile melodies and layers of strings got combined with fierce energetic drum machine rhythms expressing the energy and moods of the young producers doing things never heard before with hardly any references other then some guys from around the block. The days of no references are way past us, but music from the heart will always stand out!
