Heavy hitting, hometown hero, Buben drops two stompers staying close to clubgoers hearts. An enigmatic force dear to his Belarusian kin, Buben knows how to keep the place rocking with his productions. A versatile electronic artist to the fullest, whose limits exceeds the bracket of genres. Debuting on the 23rd “Combination of Community” gifts tunes for the party people.
Beginning with Safety Reasons, feel good groove lightly moves the pace along and embraces warm chord chops. A transient vocal hum then joins progressively, reminiscent of the 90’s trance vibe resurgence that has made its way into countless productions across the globe over the past year. Four to the floor percussion steadies the track throughout, and picks up with open hats and stiffer claps midway through. As the flow dwindles toward breakdown, Phasing synthesizer gains prominence, transforming the carefree spirit into a compelling dissonance. A harmonic crescendo quickly brings the tension back to original form and the positive energy picks the listener back up to finish. Industrial and metallic, “Combination of Community” brings an underground pump to the forefront of the second track. Driving kick provides a base to the assembly line of noise, complemented graciously with mechanical gears turning to the beat. There is a certain grind that keeps it intriguing from start to finish. A seven-minute track that could just as well have been twelve. Opposite of the trance mantra in the first tune, the guttural voice sample reminds us of the techno roots these tracks are emulating. A true dance track that emits a what you hear is what you get attitude. As the drum kit grows, a one measure melody slaps itself on top, conjoining the two lead lines in an artful transition. Never ceasing it’s groove, the melody sets itself up to add to whatever comes next in a set or listening experience. Two curated for the floor tracks that will find themselves in the midst of many setlists.
