Ambient soundscapes, dubbed out chords and swirling arps: Subtle Oscillations is a compilation of blissful sonic textures from a collection of up and coming producers associated with the Size 13 collective.

Opening the EP is the luscious and dub infused “Candle Lit” from Manchester producer 4TGANG. The soothing vocals and gradually building percussive elements of the track leave the listener in a state of euphoria.

Tortuga, co-founder and resident of Size 13 follows on from Candle Lit with a 7 minute journey of sound. Ambient breakdowns and wonky synths can be heard alongside the constant flow of running water on this one. 

Reaching the energetic climax of the EP, Still Sinking is a deep and wobbly breakbeat grooves, with chopped vocal samples and melodic synth chords to accompany the shuddering bassline.

Persona Audio takes on the 4th track with “Midnight Express”. Atmospheric pads and soothing chords over a brilliantly programmed house beat, this tune is a perfect tune for the end of a set/ the after party.

Closing the EP, Gibbin’s “Butter Knife” is a downtempo stroke of genius. Sharp synth lines and syncopated drum beats have seen this tune picked up and played by DJ Python and Ciel.
