Berlin-based live music mainstay Kristina Sheli joins forces with celebrated Scottish producer The Revenge for a brilliant new EP on Get Physical Music.
Sheli was born in Georgia but has made her mark on the Berlin scene where she’s lived over the last decade. She is a live performer and vocalist who has played with various bands at places like Kater Blau and for labels such as King Street and Hive Audio. She also runs her own 4PAWS Records and has collaborated with respected artists across the worlds of house, trip-hop and soul. One of them is The Revenge aka Graeme Clark who is known for his sublime and forward-thinking productions. From dusty disco to deep house he does it all to great acclaim, often on his Roar Groove imprint or with Craig Smith as 6th Borough Project.
First comes 'Running Undercover,' a brilliantly minimal synth house tune with clipped kicks and dry hits. A taught and catchy bassline props up the infectious groove as Kristina's steamy, intimate vocal line brings a sense of mystery. Though subtle and restrained, this tune has the potential to become a real underground anthem, not least because of the playful sax notes at the breakdown.
'Something More' is another gem, this time with leggy drums and percolating bass under cosmic and shimmering chords. The exquisite vocal from Kristina is loose and airy, soaring up high as pulsing bass notes keep the groove and synths bring feelings of magical melancholy.
These are two artful and original tunes from this fantastic pairing.
Meticulously designed but not without emotional pull, Jacob Ohrberg's subtle electronic music sounds like a dream of a distant dancefloor. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
