SURRENDER is the third EP by DZA after vinyl releases and beat tapes with Project
Mooncircle and Error Broadcast. In 2012, the Moscow beat maker and RBMA graduate
returns to his own publication imprint HOW2MAKE with his most consistent work to
date.
SURRENDER.ep is eight slapping tunes of instrumental Hip Hop and electronic Pop
music. By times minimal and percussive, often SURRENDER.ep sounds bright and catchy.
DZA draws inspiration from crunk and UK bass music but sounds never like anything
else but DZA. Part for the edgy, transparent production, part for the samples he uses
(videogames, dogs, his baby son), part for the na∩ve melodies- SURRENDER finds the
Russian producer in great shape and makes this EP a proper album rather plain
collection of tracks.
Remixes come from NYC's Shigeto who adds haunting synth textures underneath the
razor-sharp, bass-heavy beats of "Finger Snaps". Fellow producer Mujuice approaches
"Surrender" from another angle. His remix is an upbeat Pop hymn that should put clubs
all over the world bouncing head-over-heels immediately.
