Jacob Groening's record label Kamai Music drops a collaborative melodic house EP by Felix E and Michael Ritter, which combines soothing melodies and thought-provoking vocals with flowing percussion.
Felix E and Michael Ritter are a pair of Berlin-based producers who have worked together regularly, and their combined efforts can be found on record labels such as Discotexas, Minds Alike, Reconsider Music and Kiosk ID. They previously teamed up to do a remix for Kamai Music, but this time they are back with two original tracks.
They are also both solo artists, Felix E has worked with the likes of Lump Records and Cafe De Anatolia, while Michael Ritter has contributed music to imprints including Obenmusik, Mango Alley and Daydreaming.
Michael Ritter's solo style leans towards progressive house, but Felix E is more organic and Afro influenced. Together their music is a dynamic fusion that combines seamlessly to deliver innovative tracks that have immersive atmosphere and dance floor orientated energy.
The title track, "Tagträume" has a stripped-down aesthetic, crafting a clean, uncluttered sound enriched by meandering synths and a beautifully layered spoken word vocal arrangement composed by Sister Sol.
"Eklat" is the second track, and it unfolds with a gradual progression that creates an atmosphere which is introspective yet danceable. Its percussion has subtle Afro influence, and a poignant melody adds to its deep groove, which is minimalistic yet driving.
Both tracks have a spellbinding tension that's released in a way which resonates beautifully in both club settings and home listening environment.
