Time + Space by Chronicle
A1 - Geosynchronous
Getting straight to business with an intro of thick Hot Pants breaks, Geosynchronous sees Chronicle bring his unique take on atmospherics to Curvature in welcome style. An early breakdown with synths and subtle melodies is followed by a dreamy layer of two-step amens and 808 basslines, completing a collage of beats as the increasingly memorable melodies slowly weave their story throughout the track.
A2 - Life On Earth
A dream-like, reflective affair is up next with Life On Earth - Chronicle returning to the late 90’s vibe of the moniker with a plethora of classic FX, vocal samples and long constant synthwork cascading above. Utilising a simple but effective core melody, danceable two-step breaks and layers of detail that would fit in any retrospective set from the Progression Sessions era to the modern renaissance, this is one to savour.
B1 - Future Fragments
A real treat for fans of synthy, sci-fi tinged atmospheric goodness from eras gone by as Chronicle transports you to ‘99 Shepherds Bush Empire (you had to be there… now you can be) with a track that encapsulates the era perfectly. Drizzling the mix with frequent echoing effects and washes of spacey synths and pads over an earworm melody - not to mention the crisp rolling breaks) this is a versatile and enduring track you’ll keep going back to.
B2 - Nostradamus
Closing out the EP, we have Nostradamus which opens lightly with hi-hats and airy padwork before finely edited old school breakwork injects energy to the mix. The breaks build with additional elements creating a very danceable and rhythmic loop, punctuated by a catchy melody. One sample proclaims “The Future Is Power” - if it’s in the hands of producers like Chronicle, effortlessly channeling the past with a modern twist, we know we are in good hands.
