Glieser - Kuiper's Belt (+Echologist + Youandewan Remixes)

Written by Youri Jozee

House/Techno -

Glieser from Serbia may be established faces in their native country, we can’t recall having heard from them ever before. Anyway, they're about to release an EP on the reliable Fullbarr label, which is backed up with remixes from Echologist aka Brendon Moeller and Youandewan.

Up first is Kuiper's Belt,  a warm house tune revolving around a basic synth structure. Although things get very deep and it certainly has its moments, it’s nothing we haven’t heard before. Riverside is much more melodic and definitely more dynamic, but it suffers from the same symptoms as its predecessor. Solid, but little surprising.

Echologist’s remix doesn’t differ that much from the original, although the bass sounds and kicks seem to have gotten a bit more depth. Luckily, Youandewan saves the day with a very experimental, haunting dubstep/electronic rework of Kuiper Belt. A stunning closure of a so-so EP.

Our verdict:
If it wasn’t for the Youandewan remix, this EP would be a rather standard release. Funny how one single cut can change everything isn’t it?
