melodic diggers presents: equanimity (exordium)

After years of connecting music lovers all over the world, through various communities and beyond, Melodic Diggers now comes in the form of Equanimity. It’s our new label, showcasing the artists and sounds we love, to be radiated through both the dancefloor and within your personal surroundings.
We welcome you to listen to our first release, Exordium. Meaning ‘the beginning’, the name only seems appropriate for our venture into the music label world. This is a seven-track compilation of our favourite artists right now.

Firing up is ‘Society X’: Tal Fussman’s introductory track to the VA is another showcase of his versatility as a producer, a breakbeat blend peppered with dramatic high twinkled climax throughout, rising and falling through the dreamy and melodic ebb and flow.

Adrian Roman’s ‘Galu’ helps preserve the previous with its backbeat structure, but at a notably faster pace. Flashing bolts and vibrating claps swirl and shake amongst the night sky for delicacy, keeping our tempers in good swing.

Argia steps us aside with ‘Stella’, a track deep-rooting in the more abstract side, with a dabble of techno cuts. Bouncing along the bassline, harmonic strings glisten in mystique as a radio-transmitted voice plays into our consciousness, echoing ‘an altered state of mind’.

Melodic Diggers’ favourite Invoker throws us far into the air with ‘Sun And Moon’. A quicker pace, like us falling back down to Earth, it’s central structure pulsates and shakes, as a synthesised melody marches fiercely onwards, paired with soft twinkles to alighten our higher senses.

From Berlin, duo Tayir take a more fierce approach with their addition, ‘In My Head’. Firmly, dedicatedly telling us that it really is ‘in my head’, the beat kicks and snaps in motion whilst cords frazzle enigmatically all over the structure.

Cast from a metal structure, ‘Masakali’, from Volar, bounces and fizzles and executes a pathway to overhyped chords, as angels glorify their opulent souls to above and beyond, allowing us to see inside for just a fraction of time.

Kimman’s ‘The Space’ is a finale which is a sure fire way to bring us together during those final calls. Lavish textures coated over a broken structure, the grooved formation is elevated further by swooshing drops, percussion rattles and a final dose of faded vocals.
