‘Opus’ sets the tone for the EP; a chilling, ambient opening that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Ridley Scott film. ‘TEK-88’ launches the space mission at full throttle. An ode to the classic Underground Resistance, Detroit sound. Hard 808 drums, spacey euphoric pads and Herbie Hancock inspired synth lines feed the hunger for the reopening of nightclubs and dance floors across the world. ‘Prometheus’ is one of the most unique house tracks of the year. An idiosyncratic 808 drum pattern powers the track along with an atmospheric backdrop that builds to a signature lead synth solo from Tenderlonious; conjuring images of the USCSS Prometheus starship landing on LV-223. The EP draws to a close with ‘808 State’. Live freestyle drum patterns bring things back down to earth with hypnotic synth lines and atmospheric pad work. TEK-88 picks up where Tenderlonious’ 2020 LP Quarantena left off, with added bass and danceability. His best studio productions yet!
