Mutants second offering of 2014 is a two track, banger of an EP from Switzer-land... Switzerland, known to many as the home of mountains, cuckoo clocks, chocolate, neutrality and discreet banking practices; but ferocious, prog-tinged electro-house? Isn?t it all a bit too polite to give rise to such endeavours? Well, on the strength of this EP the answer is most definitely not! Teaming-up with his mates, Party Killers, Nelson has produced a dual offering with enough peaks and lofty emotion to challenge the Alpine summits and create a euphoric feat Mu-tants just couldn?t ignore. ?It was both amusing and interesting how the track got signed. I met John Dahlback and his team at the Amsterdam Dance Event and handed them physi-cal demos in the very old-skool sense, just like the way it used to be before the days of file transfer!?, says Nelson laughing, ?But, when I heard back from Mutants a month later and went to tell the boys they were picking-up the track they didn?t believe me! I had to show them the original email before they?d accept it!? First-up is ?Parygon?, which perfectly encapsulates the foursome?s distinct sound: arpeggiated synths: killer drum-rolls; gltichy mid-lines and riff that rivals anything the best of Sweden could muster all combine to deliver a piece of music that truly stands apart. Meanwhile, ?BLOW?, offers a distinctly darker, not to mention dirtier alternative as the Killers explain, ?We were all conscious not to present two tracks that would tread on each others toes. ?BLOW? is a balls out force of nature for when the room is at its darkest and the strobe?s working overtime.? But don?t be fooled into thinking this a one dimensional affair, far from it; just at the moment you fear things couldn?t get any more intense the guys very cleverly juxtapose proceedings and present a shining breakdown of emotive glory before the grinding electro bass returns with the final drive toward the end of the track.
