Our Ukrainian brother AIKON returns for a four-track excursion into the future of the past (or is it the past of the future?). Embodying the time- less ethos of TAU’s core sound, this EP is a surefire winner. AIKON has been a busy bee lately, with releases on Diynamic, Renaissance, Exploit- ed and Multinotes, among others. It’s great to have him back with us here at TAU, we’re sure you’re going to bop your head to this all through summer and beyond...

The EP gets grooving with its title track, ‘Energy Control’. At the low end there’s a gentle hum, nudged along by punchy beats. Acid flecks reverberate in the background, while a repetitive vocal clip gives the cut its enchanting character. Get ready for the extended breakdown, leading into a bombastic second half with a highly emotive riff designed to give you goosebumps.

Up next is ‘Come Together’, which utilizes organic sounding percussion alongside a muted b-line. The vocal tells us “It’s time to come together” repeatedly, as if urging us to embrace unity... Layers of urgent melody are added, giving the track a dramatic quality. AIKON allows us some time for a breather, before heading into the latter part of the track for more strutting on the dance floor.

‘Rattles’ follows up, opening with a deep bass rhythm. The atmosphere is tense and a little unsettling, with layers of percussion adding to the track’s dynamic nature. An emotionally-charged breakdown showcases AIKON’s musicality, before we dive back into the depths of the low end.

Lastly, ‘Space Adventure’ takes us on a cosmic head trip. After a pensive start, we encounter a funkafied bassline which is complemented by a bright sparkling melody, which evokes the feeling of a shuttle docking with a space station while orbiting a distant planet. The progression and sonic narrative on this cut are perfectly matched with the title, AIKON guiding us through space with his impeccable composition...

Time travel, destroyed empires, conquered galaxies... Milan-based Acidgigi’s Energy Control EP is the soundtrack of a futuristic fairytale.

Just like his DJ sets, the three original cuts on Energy Control can’t be confined to one genre alone. Yet they all share something in common driving beats guaranteed to make you dance.

Breaks and rave samples from the hardcore continuum combine with an irresistible lead in the opening I’ve Never Been But I Love It - a lucid crystallisation of Acidgigi’s eclectic influences. Carne serves up an instantly memorable cut of dark 2-step, before Energy Control floats into a distant fantasy landscape of luscious pads and grandiose amens.

To round off the release, Australian Guy Contact applies his signature housey touch to the opening track - vocals and a killer groove certain to set the clubs alight.
