SexOnWax has established a reputation as a leader in the progressive scene, and this gem from Omid 16B’s alter ego Changing Shape does the label proud. Quintessentially synth-driven, the tight arpeggiated bassline draws on acid influences, never overstepping the mark, and remains juxtaposed expertly against the track’s beats, creating a mid-set must.

Leading Omid 16B’s SexOnWax imprint into new sonic territory is the aptly-named ‘Surprised’ by NEW5. Opening with an evolving, enveloping filmic sequence, it’s just over 2 minutes into the track before the beats drop. Languorously building on the opening sequence, the rhythm drives things forward whilst the synth-work lies irresolutely upon it, determined to take things easy. A grooving, chilled number perfect for summer. Buy on Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/surprised/2080024...

Following on from his last release, Feroziana once again returns to the SexOnWax Recordings label with ‘Revival’.
