  • SPHERES is meant as a home for "darker" music than Rua Sound or its sister imprint Foxy Jangle, though I'm not sure that's how I'd classify "Stay," the first track off its debut EP, from Rome producer Noroi. "Stay" is a wonderfully floaty breakbeat jam with a far-away vocal sample—the drums land with a gut-punch and the tones are kind of melancholy, sure, but it's more romantic than dark. Noroi has a real knack for these sweeping atmospheric vistas. "Untitled Jungle" does what you'd expect it to, but soaked in reverb and running through a gauntlet of melodic samples played in reverse, while "Chrysalis" brings back those anvil-sized drums, this time in a techno hybrid style you might expect from the Samurai crew, hi-hats punching through the fog that envelops everything else.
