DJUS - Bring It Back EP [SAWH213]

DJUS steps up with Bring It Back EP, a four-track journey into the essence of groovy and rolling techno. With an undeniable focus on rhythm, energy, and movement, this EP blends hypnotic drum patterns, deep basslines, and sharp percussive elements into a fluid, dynamic experience.

We start off with 'Conga Circus' that sets the tone with infectious tribal energy, driven by rolling congas and a tightly woven percussive groove. A pulsing bassline carries the track forward, while layers of organic percussion create a hypnotic swing that feels both raw and refined. As the tension builds, playful rhythmic variations and subtle synth stabs add depth, making this a perfect tool.

Next up is 'Glassified' - a deeper and more textural ride, this track balances crisp drum work with shimmering, glassy synth textures that float above a chunky, rolling low end. The interplay between tight, syncopated percussion and evolving atmospheres creates a mesmerizing push-and-pull effect, keeping dancers locked in the rhythm while the track unfolds with delicate yet driving intensity.

The third track on the EP 'Tap Tap' is all about bounce and movement. A groovy bassline works in perfect harmony with sharp, tapping percussion elements that dance around the stereo field. Funk-infused hi-hats and filtered synth loops add a playful touch, while subtle vocal snippets sneak in and out, enhancing the hypnotic effect. The groove is relentless yet effortlessly fluid—one of those tracks that keeps the dancefloor swaying deep into the night.

Closing out the EP with a pure roller 'Up And Down' that leans into a loopy, hypnotic structure where layered percussion, deep sub grooves, and evolving textures create an irresistible forward motion. The bassline swells and dips, mirroring the track’s title, while airy synth pads bring a spaced-out contrast to the rhythmic intensity. A true late-night groover that’s both immersive and driving, sealing the EP with style.
