FOURWARD – ELEKTRIK EP

Posted November 5, 2015

Our favourite Austrian drum and bass super group return to round off their year with the absolutely firing ‘Elektrik EP’. Brimming with four tracks of super sonics, Fourward yet again prove their credentials, arming us with the most high end ammo that is perfect to bring down any dance floor.

The title track of the EP, Elektrik, starts with this epic, suspense building introduction. When the track drops, it’s heavy. It’s really heavy. Spike represents absolutely everything that a classic Fourward tune should do, keeping fans – like myself – very happy. It’s dark, it’s heavy, it’s rolling and those drums cut through just perfectly. Sticks & Stones is a little interesting, a bit different from the usual Fourward sound but as you might expect from the guys – it’s pretty bangin. In contrast, Memories of You featuring Grimm is lush, it’s beautiful and it’s deep. The piano melody is so delightful, the bass line is ultra smooth and Grimm’s voice over the top of it all can practically induce tingles down the back of your neck. This EP once again proves that these four lads live up to their title of being one of the most breathtaking drum & bass outfits to have emerged from Austria in recent years.
