- Currently living in Portugal, Finnish musician Jari Marjamäki, aka Zentex, is firmly establishing a melody-driven tech sound of his own. His earlier productions for Kickboxer, ‘Kayra’ and ‘Pimio’, found their way into the bags of DJs such as Gui Boratto, Dominik Eulberg and Jussi Pekka, and on his latest cut for Bloop he's lending a little more depth to his forms.
‘Saha’ is not too loud and not too soft. Built on top of a deep groovy bassline, the filtered vocal and frenetic ticks set the pace for a great record that’ll work well accompanying early cocktails at the bar. On the B-side, ‘Säkä is a string laden affair built around bells and percussion, but itts still mellow stuff. Unlike previous Zentex tracks such as Loytotavaraa and Koko Kokkoo, there are no growling stabs of bass here, but it suffers a little from the lack of grit.
Cosmic Sandwich, aka Steve Barnes, works the remix for Sahaa, turning the original into a chimera-like track filled with sci-fi effects, distorted vocals and itching melodies thatts got peaktime or after hours written all over it. Itts a great track good enough even to compare to the mighty Cosmic Sandwichh in the right hands.
