Wind Horse Records is back with a groovy, acid-drenched EP from Pete Dirty Feet titled “Vitamin Drift” for the second release of this year. The 3-tracker is conceptualized, composed, mixed and mastered by Pete who has been exploring many facets of electronic music since the mid 2000s. The first track is a collaboration between Pete and his older brother gingembre who after a year of studio experimentation, decided to include their most interesting creation in this release, giving its name to the EP.

“Vitamin Drift”: a bouncy, acid-laden tune that gets you hooked right from the time you hit the play button. A nice, chubby bassline greets your ears, interspersed by simple yet eloquent percussions that elevate the vibe. As the track builds, a fleeting pad accompanied by the electric keyboard stabs fill up the spaces nicely and get you swaying right away. This build-up serves as the precursor for the gorgeous acid-lead that follows suit, enamoring you with its beautifully composed, squelchy rhythm. The track powers through with these elements with aplomb. You might find this one difficult to remove from your playlist or record bag! 

Next up on the EP is the deliciously lush track titled “Comets” which is funky and a straight-up classic from the get-go with its bass-guitar lead that’s enough to pique your attention. Towards its first breakdown the track is powered by a wicked bassline and some fantastic retro acid-lines that are enough to transport you to different galaxies of musicality and groove. Simple, yet fluid, “Comets” stays true to its name by delivering an excellent yet evocative experience on any dancefloor you choose. 

To round things up, “Maybe someday”; the 3rd and final track from Pete Dirty Feet can best be described as a feast of acid, served over a spread of oriental melodies and awesome atmospherics that can genuinely leave you swooning over the majesty of its construction. The track kicks things off with a busy kick-drum & percussive intro that prepares the listener for what unleashes soon after. Stabs of heavenly pads and intelligently arranged rhythms give way to a riotous acid lead that’s enough to send many aficionados of the 303-inspired sound into a tizzy they'll never forget. We'll just let the music do the talking on this one!  

The EP artwork is an original oil painting done by Pete. Stay tuned for more cosmic scenes coming along with his future releases.
