brian kage: the arc

After releases on FXHE, Deeplabs, and Planet-E, Brian Kage returns with “The Arc EP,” a new record on his new label, Michigander. “The Arc EP” is dedicated to celebrating hopeful and inspiring times in the city of Detroit. The Arc - Dark minor chord stabs emerge and echo around a solid concrete foundation of classic 909 style drum patterns and deep pulsating bassline hits. The structure builds until giving way to a break of lush symphonic strings that pay tribute to Detroit in a nostalgic manner. The Arc (Stringless Mix) has been crafted for creating and releasing cascades of tension in the darkest of warehouses. D Drive – A saturated synth lead effortlessly bounces through two octaves in a classic groove that is unmistakably from an alternative universe where the 80s never ended. This feel-good jam will get even the toughest of crowds smiling and rocking out. Transcending – This contemplative soundscape flings percussive hisses rippling through a deep melodic realm. An atmosphere of timeless synthesis provides reassurance that it was a great decision to come out wearing comfortable shoes and dressed to sweat.
