Ten Walls Requiem EP The concept of Ten Walls is simple. A music
driven project where the focus is moved away from the personality of
the artist so that the music can more directly speak for itself. And
that concept seems to be working well so far. After first appearing
on the scene in early 2013 with its debut 'Gotham EP' on
Innervisions, Ten Walls quickly became a sensation as Gotham became
a staple of DJs worldwide. One of those ubiquitous tunes that you
can't escape but never seem to get enough of. Now with its second
EP, Ten Walls joins Life and Death with a follow up that sits
perfectly with the ever evolving yet quite distinct Life and Death
sound. An EP that takes artistic experimentation and meshes it with
a technical prowess that translates to music that works equally as
well on the dancefloor as it does off of it. With "Ankaris", Ten
Walls sets the tone with a droning soundscape over solid beats and
arepeggiated synths that combine to tell the tale of a distant land,
somewhere off in a far corner of the galactic federation. A journey
to a faraway place but with emotions every listener can very quickly
connect to... Picking up the pace slightly, "Mongol" tells the tale
of nomadic tribes and ancient conflict. With a throbbing bass,
haunting pads and an ethnic lead that seems to come from another
era, Mongol seamlessly mixes sounds of both the past and the future
to create something that stands out of time and firmly on it own.
With a name like "Requiem" one might not expect the big tune that is
hidden behind the understated title. But a big one it is, with an
infectious lead that builds and builds as a beckoning cowbell dances
around its center. Deceptively simple yet anything but, the whole of
the track continues onwards and upwards taking the dancefloor along
with it. A euphoric embrace that will hold any dancefloor in its
grip and is most certainly a worthy successor to Gotham -- as Ten
Walls proves that its focus on the music is most certainly a
fruitful one.
