Aalson – Sataturation Control
“Great synth use, just great, love how they are edited, setting the mood just right. With layering them just perfectly until the break theme/arp comes and it is so well arranged. Reminded me of Stephan Bodzin and his trade mark sound, love that sound. ”

Just after his releases on Spectrum, Joris Voorn label, Aalson, the most productive Sinners artist offers us a new a strong EP.
‘Saturation Control’ immediatly starts with a heavy and scary atmosphere. Like an idea stuck in a mind, the looped melody turns and becomes more and more present and distressing, until the pressure makes everything around explode. Thanks to the break and the melancholic orchestra, it is with more wisdom and reason that the track will continue to evolve towards a positive and beautiful end.
‘Night Glitches’ comes after and even if it quickly asserts a more stable world, the glitches we use to hear in Aalson’s music come to sow the doubt. Between nervous breakdowns and nightmares, his soft and bright pads bring a pleasant wave of hope. With this second and last track of the EP, Aalson reveals an even darker and more cinematic side of his work.
