The Early Hours EP vinyl

Having already showcased his deep, spacey and melodious brand of electro on Brokntoys, Vertical67 is a near perfect fit for the similarly focused Eudemonia label - an imprint that famously funnels money into supporting projects in conflict areas. Vertical67's first release on the label, The Early Hours EP, is as impressive as you'd expect, with skittish electro beats and occasional breakbeats providing the perfect backdrop for bubbly acid lines, yearning chords, surprisingly funky synth-bass and emotive melodies by the bucketload. Highlights-wise, we're really enjoying the colourful, morning-fresh shimmer of 'Split Your Soul', and the crunchy, squelchy and dreamy title track.
