Spring is in the air, and Plus Plus is back! Hunter Sanchez returns with their first proper EP on Plus Plus. Known for their thick, stripped down and driving productions, Hunter Sanchez has taken a much different approach while showcasing their range and depth as producers on their Fixed Gear EP.

Elektronica opens the EP, with a tight punchy kick and an analog inspired bass that gently lulls you in. As the track progresses the bassline develops along with panning synth motifs and swirling FX that create a sense of tension and depth. Elektronica shows Hunter Sanchez’s attention to detail while still maintaning a groove that never lets up. 

Fixed Gear follows, with it’s throbbing, off beat bassline setting the tone off the bat. A sequenced synth line works its way into the track that carries through, moving and evolving to add a touch of movement and drama to an understated drum groove that delivers maximum dance floor euphoria.

Drawing back to their first love of techno, Performer opens up with a tight kick along with a deep, rolling sub bassline. Their signature synth work is on full display with multiple layers building on each other while still complimenting the crunching, driving groove. A 303 inspired synth line starts to open up more and more as the track pushes forward but maintains a touch of grace and dignity by never opening up completely.

Label head Jason Bay is back on remix duty, taking a more dubby approach with Fixed Gear. A low swung groove opens the track, with spaced out percussions providing depth. Subtle pads fill out the mid range and evolves with the track. The original sequenced synth line bobs and weaves it’s way through, adding a hint of excitement and anticipation. The vocals hint at the moment everything changes in your life while the original synth line builds underneath before the groove kicks back thick and heavy. Jason was kind enough to provide with an instrumental as well for those of you out there who prefer smooth, rolling grooves.

Garden Party is back once again. providing a nice balance to Jason Bay’s dubbed out remix. Garden Party’s “Out On Safari” remix is thick and punishing. With a heavy kick that knocks you out and thick, overly saturated toms underneath, their take on Performer is an unapologetic assault on the dance floor. A thick bassline opens up during the break while the original 303 line comes in to build tension. As the groove backs back thick, the filter opens on the strings to create an overwhelming wall of sound that washes over and engulfs you in it’s sonic grip.

To finish off the EP Jason Bay has provided us with a little groove tool. Taking the parts from his remix and stripping them down to their bare essentials, this groove tool is perfect for opening sets while still maintaining a nice flow that grows underneath while dubbed out synths swirl unbounded.
