- Ozgur Can is really proving to be one of the most talented producers to come out from the Scandinavian region in quite a while, and with this new Sleepless in Stockholm EP he looks set to add to his always growing reputation.
First up on the a-side is The Mingle King, and it doesn’t waste any time in getting this EP into gear. It is quite a driving progressive cut with a solid electro groove, flowing nicely with some solid drums, and storming electro riff, and a driving baseline that keeps it moving at solid pace. Great way to kick things off.
Following this is Crazy Menu, and with this production the tempo drops somewhat. The track though is still quite sinister, thanks to a gritty baseline and some nice atmospheric pads deep into the track. Pitched up this track is quite a dirty 3am moment.
The title track in Sleepless in Stockholm is first up on the b-side, and again Ozgur delivers quite a driving progressive tech cut this time. The baselines are again driving and sinister, and combined with the intricate drums as well as the twisted synth patterns, this production again is a peak time masterpiece for Ozgur.
Simplicity closes the EP off in a smooth and somewhat downtempo style compared to the other productions. Smooth warm pads roll alongside some subtle and delicate percussion and a nice bouncy b-line.
A very solid release here from Ozgur showcasing the sounds that he is all about at the moment.
