CD Description
As the first artist other than Deadmau5 to release an album on the deceased rodents own record label, Mau5trap, German producer Moguai certainly has big boots to fill and on the evidence of his debut artist project WE AR LYVE, global superstardom beckons believe the hype! The albums organic ability to take you on an audible journey means no sooner are you drawn into the mercurial melee via LSD, than you are enticed on to the fictional dance floor. ZYVOX, Moguais first release on Mau5trap last year, treads the fine line between deep, proggy house and stadium techno without over doing it, just merely coaxing you in with subtle yet euphoric demeanour. A broad range of influences begins to peer through along the way Flex, Rex, Mansion is major nod to the hip-hop cum electro era in the 80s, not least with the vocal, but also the construction of the track as a whole. Halfway point Oyster encompasses the melodic house sound that has swept the globe in recent time. The progressive, poetic masterpiece acts perfectly to serve up the following, Blau and Nyce, on a plate. Two records were sure you will be seeing a lot of in the coming months. The relentless collection further accelerates towards the end of the album with the formidable pairing of Electra and Ataque. Both uncompromising techno at their best, Electra boasts everything you expect from the title, prime time electronica cut from the finest European cloth; big synths, heavy beats and bucket loads of energy. Ataque offers an alternative platter with its fragmented kicks forming the bedrock to a track that intensifies throughout and exhibits everything experimental about Moguai. Rounding off WE AR LYVE proceedings, rather appropriately, is the tune that took over 2009. A piece of Balearic brilliance, Lyve gracefully seeps into your consciousness whilst the simplistic nature of the melody tells a story of euphoria in far more credible means than attempted before; dually complemented by an understated yet bold construction of bass, rhythms and dream like nostalgia. Catalogue under - end of the night and life changer. Presenting Moguai and his debut artist album WE AR LYVE, one of the biggest and true electronic albums to be unleashed this year.
