Track of the Day: NGHT DRPS x David Mayer - Follow

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/241912987" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]David Mayer and NGHT DRPS released their new EP ‘Follow’ on Audiomatique Recordings late last week. Although Mayer and NGHT DRPS have been working together in various capacities for years, most recently with their release of ‘Burn’ on Gruuv, Mayer considers this to be the official kick-off of the collaboration. ‘Follow’ takes the listener on an ethereal ride with trippy synths, ambient melodies, and soft, almost erratic klacks. This is a great track for winding down a late night. We are looking forward to more quality work from the Berliners in 2016 as Mayer plans to hit the studio again this winter.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/5398185" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]David Mayer is a co-founder of Berlin based label Keinemusik Records. Much of his work in the past has been as a ghost producer and audio engineer but he is also an incredibly talented producer. Despite operating mainly behind the scenes Mayer has released tracks for many well-known labels including Get Physical, Gruuv, and Kompakt. ‘Paneek’ from his 2009 debut EP on Keinemusik is another particularly noteworthy production of Mayer’s. More recently, Mayer dropped the first mix of the year for Keinemusik’s Radio Show. Marcel aka NGHT DRPS tends to have more of a drum and bass sound so considering the distinctiveness of the two producers’ solo projects it is refreshing to hear such a strong blending of their creativity.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/242066624" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]Audiomatique, Steve Bug’s imprint, has seen much success with its signature brand of techno and house music having dropped tracks from the likes of Rodriguez Jr., Fur Coat, Timo Maas, and Ralf Kollmann among others.
