Say What?

Rik Watts - Searching EP [SAWH211]

Say What? is back with more grooves and this time it’s from Dutch groove maestro Rik Watts with his 'Searching' EP - a four-track journey through deep, rolling techno and hypnotic rhythms. Packed with organic textures, warm basslines, and infectious energy.

We start off with the title track - a deep groove-driven cut with crisp percussion and hypnotic synth layers. The rolling bassline keeps things moving, while the percussive elements pushes the groove into techno tool heaven.

Next up is 'Dialog' where tight drum programming meets rhythmic vocal snippet editing, creating a driving yet playful groove. Funky, bouncy and impossible to resist.

The third on the release is 'Porangui' - a percussive journey with tribal-infused elements and fluid drum grooves. Organic textures and evolving synths make this one perfect for those early morning moments.

Last on the release is 'Nature' - a deep roller with old school stabs and an immersive atmosphere. Subtle switches in the percussion intertwine with a pulsating rhythm, bringing a sense of balance between dancefloor energy and emotion.
