Reviver - Optimal Lifeform

Reviver - Optimal LifeformDebuting on Curvature with an impressively deep EP, Reviver delivers a sound that aligns perfectly with the core ethos of the Spatial family incredible atmospherics and classic breakbeats. A1 Call From Space Opening the EP we are treated to a DJ friendly intro with thick breaks and crackly backdrops reminiscent of classic sci fi movies with a slightly oppressive aura. A tapestry of melodies created from intertwining synths and samples follows, as

Filtered metallic breakbeats join the mix periodically along with string melodies and a plethora of sci-fi effects and classic micro samples

impeccably produced Helicopter break takes center stage with Moonlit Clouds

The weight and presence is abundant across every track

New signing Sciama takes up the mantle with the impressive brooding ominous tones of 'Foreque'

buoyed by the truly vibrant breaks

Building on the foundation of his two EPs for Samurai Music

the forming aural throng is layered with intricate layers of inquisitive detail

the whistles of dunes

fulfills that desire in style

with chemtrails of reverb and delay giving ‘I’m The One’s twittering hats and vocals a truly psychedelic quality

This melody continues through sci-fi computer FX reminiscent of early 720

while Chronicle’s editing techniques mimic a skilled DJ cutting another break in and out to satisfying effect towards the back end of the main phases
