Ganz – Gao

Originally published on Alt Media

Every single element on Dutch producer Ganz’s third EP has very clearly been carefully considered and curated to create a very special six track offering. The production here is so masterfully crafted that with very simple elements Ganz has managed to weave together something that is rich, punchy and complex.

Gao opens with 'Light Years' (ft. Maribelle) which isa light, bubbly track thanks to Maribelle’s strong, sweet vocals and intricate piano elements. As the EP progresses it explores a range of sounds moving from this light beginner into more hip-hop inspired tracks, such as 'Frolyfe', then into big bass driven tracks like 'Lone' (ft JOY.) and produced with What So Not, before finally closing out with the dark and dreamy track 'Dark Places' (ft. Muki). This progression through styles gives the short but punchy EP a great overall sense of roundedness to the listening experience.
