The release title comes from the Greek word ’συμβίωσις’, which means living closely together for a significant period and can be used to speak of a mutually beneficial interaction between individuals. And that is precisely what can be said of ANNĒ and Sera J, who have grown through life as partners and, more recently, as musical peers. This split EP is their first release alongside one another, and one that presents the story of their innermost feelings, with their full label debut following fine contributions to the label’s ’Federation Of Rytm II’ compilation back in March. ANNĒ has had a busy few years making her mark with potent techno on labels such as Soma, Hardgroove, and Life In Patterns, while Sera J is just as revered for his tunes on the likes of Out Of Place, DifferentSound and more. ANNĒ takes the A-side, firstly with the fiery diva vocals and thumping techno drums of ’Heal My Soul’ and then the more physical and banging drum programming of ’Turn Back Time’. It’s a big, metallic cut with rumbling bass and sleek synths peeling off the groove, while her final track ’Zephyrus’ has plenty of infectious bounce and eerie pads to keep dancers on their toes. On the flip, Sera J kicks off with the electrifying synth stabs and cantering techno power of ’Blue Dancers’ and then offers up ’Common People’ as twisted leads and slamming drums all run through with alien sound effects and bright stabs. To close, ’Delusion’ is a psychedelic cut with roaming leads that bring plenty of cosmic energy to the unrelenting kicks. In addition, each artist serves up a pair of digital bonuses: ANNĒ with the hurried funk of ’Serene’ and loopy intensity of ’Victor’, and Sera J with the liquid, dubby dynamics of the hard-hitting ’Intensity’ and monstrous energy of ’Bodies Don’t Lie.’ ___ DISCLAIMER: All tracks are uploaded in a low quality for promotional purposes only and with buy links to respect label and artists.
