exclusive | Jordan GCZ - Why So Serious | Rawax

Making a return to RAWAX is the ever-impressive Jordan GCZ, bringing his four-track 'Polyphonic Glide EP' to the imprint, after 2023's "Dizzy Dizzy Dizzy" 12". This adds to over a decade's worth of real quality output from Jordan, whose catalogue is wonderfully creative and a joy to dip into.

The title track opens up the release, a fantastically deep, shimmering electronic workout, beautifully layered sounds creating complete warmth from the speakers. Shuffling hats melt into the low pads, synths add some musicality and vibe as the track develops, all the while retaining the low undercurrent, keeping this supremely deep. A faultless opener of pure quality.

The A2 cut, "Why So Serious", brings in some punchy marching drums, the reverb on the snare sounding lush and mixing perfectly with the gradual build of the pads. Nifty little synth hits work their way into the track, nestling alongside the bass and the pads, with a break 2/3 through, allowing the track to return to its original early vibe. This is a very subtly crafted track, again it's extra-deep, but the percussion allows this to also be a direct dancefloor gem too.

Flipping the 12" over, we're greeted with "Sunny Side Up", all swaggering bass and clicky percussive elements which remain pulsating, as a flickering synth line meanders into the vibe. Around two-thirds of the way into the track, a short break leads into some excellent chords and synth vibes, really lifting the track and adding yet more heat, as if it didn't have enough already. Head-swimmingly trippy, this is a glorious slice of heads-down deepness which, as with the two previous tracks, has a full punch in the low-end vibes to do serious damage on the dancefloor.    

As if this EP wasn't deep enough already, the B2 outing, "Undercurrent", heads even further into subterranean waters. The kick is sat back in the mix, the bassline carries the flow of the track, while delayed swirling pads, whistling synth sounds and bleepy FX all float around the top end of the track, making up for the absence of any main hats or percussion. Definitely something for the more creative DJ, one to use in warm-up sets or very very late 7am sessions, this is a gorgeous closing track to what is a perfectly produced and expertly deep slice of vinyl.
