This is a new EP by Nightshifters lablehead Jason Forrest who goes by DJ Donna Summer. His first release in 2 years, the music on this EP ranges with everything from house, IDM, dubstep and straight up electronic music. But what makes it all the more engaging are his transitions and ear for layering.
There are songs ("Fighter") that are built around an addition of instruments and tones before exploding all over the canvas and then there are others like the title track that very simply, burst at the seems with intensity. The undertones are subtle and enticing and the atmospherics lend a blissful amount of style. When hearing something as good as this, I can’t help but wonder why it will never make it to the dancefloors – where it belongs.
Nonetheless, getting the word out is needed. Below is a video to that aforementioned title track, all of the songs on the EP can be heard on his myspace page and hopefully, we see a physical release soon. – Bryan
