Miltiades – Epitome Of Things EP [FREEBEAT006]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

Miltiadis Merentitis is one of the greatest exponents of the underground greek scene. After several releases on Nous, Echovolt and Synapsis he joins Freebeat with the Epitome Of Things EP. Miltiades explores the driest of territories through his characteristic chords, kicks and percussion. Transporting you to another world. Take the first cut on the A side for instance: a deep hypnotic techno cut that creates perfect trance induction by relying on the most basic of analogue elements. On the flip, the second track is a gothic lo-fi house jam reminiscent of New York City’s Patricia while the final offering channels the spirit of early ’90’s Detroit on this fine serving of hi-tech soul.

When the derangement has reached the limitless limits. Like the sound of a light-beam reaching the immense gravitational waves of a black hole. Is there sound in nothingness This is your Outermost reality.

Echovolt expands its remit with the launch of a new series of mini-albums with the first edition coming from Templeyard Studios, a recently formed project of Berlin-based Greek artists Miltiades and Goolyk. Met for the first time in Berlin in 2014 and pretty soon started sharing sonic ideas and researching how they could affect the human brain, using hardware sound equipment.

VA – Freebeat 04 [FREEBEAT004]

The enigmatic Freebeat label drops the fourth release as a collaborative effort from four deep house heavyweights. Leonid aka Paul Smith comes through with the mighty “Can’t Stop” on the A-side, a full-bodied cut with plenty of synth magic, followed by Miltiades and the slow-burning sway of “Xnn”. On the flipside, there’s a sweet and soulful house cut from DaRand Land in the form of “In Earnest”, and two pieces of off-the-wall mentalism from Jose Rico, one of which takes a totally beatless approach.

Following his debut on the Greek label Nous, Athens based producer Miltiades resurfaces on the also Greek imprint Echovolt with a new four-track EP, deep and shadowy house affair that likes to go slow and purposeful. Comes with a remix from GB aka Gifted & Blessed under his lesser used alias The Reflektor. This is deep, immediately aged house music that takes you deep down underground and allows you to wallow in its beautifully warm open spaces.

Miltiades – EPK.X [US001]

Expansive, discordant, deep house from Greeces newest electronic imprint Nous. The labels name hints at what to expect from this stable, exploring its own cultural heritage (the word means Mind in Greek) whilst looking at a future in which commonality and harmony need to take center stage. This debut release from the label navigates a curiously melancholy space in which the Motor Citys dissonant influence melds with a robust club sensibility, to construct a late night, eyes down, dance floor narrative. As well as a quartet of original cuts from the EPs author, Chicagos Hakim Murphy contributes a subterraneous take on the lead track that will no doubt charm fans of Theos Sound Signature or Rick Wades Harmonie Park.
