Deepak Sharma continues to build his portfolio on his imprint with a fourth solo EP, a gritty and tense four-tracker "Patala". Patala in Hindu cosmology refers to the subterranean realms of the universe, an underworld beneath the earth. Rising up you reach Prithvi, or the mortal plane that is earth. Above that is Svarga, or heaven. Inspired by these worlds, he delivers three originals with pulsating synth lines, raw rhythmic drums with hypnotic and ethereal soundscapes. Tadeo is widely respected and revered for his forward thinking imagination and offers a complex, powerful remix blending Detroit and Chicago techno. Side A begins with "Patala" and frenzied synths influencing the mind through airy hypnotism, exhibiting subtlety in creating a dance-floor groove. Tadeo's ambitious remix blossoms from the original adding new musical landscapes and marvelous sounds. Side B starts with "Prithvi" keeping you on edge between the underlying vocals scattered between a gripping baseline and off-kilter synth movements with timely off-beat drums that culminate into a dramatic show overall. "Svarga" stretches out with twisting and curving synth lines and intensifies with an ebb and flow of eerie sound and spacious atmosphere.
