SUB_tl 084 Hd Substance Sharks EP Label co owner Hd Substance returns home with the second installment of his fauna dedicated series after Wasps EP from 2023. This time the chosen beast is the shark in many of its inceptions from the feared White Shark to the mellow and quiet Blacktip Reef Shark. This time he used his System 55 modular rig and a Roland Alpha Juno to create all sequences and sounds while the percussive elements relied on the classic Roland 909 / Analog Rytm combo. Release starts with Hammerhead Shark direct to your basic instincts, loopy and rough, repetitive and funky. Blue Shark comes next with a dynamic bass programming, constantly evolving, modulating the System 55 primitive oscillators and filter constantly, occasional Juno pads add some soul to the mechanical equation. Third cut is dedicated to the beautiful Basking Shark here Hd Substance uses his own voice to add a jacky feeling to this classic techno workout. On the virtual B side Angel Shark brings the heat, solid bass frequencies, rugged modular textures and white noise washes and hits share space with crispy high pass filtered sequenced lines. White Shark goes deep and profound, almost trancey with the Roland 909 in all its splendor making the drums. Last but not least Blacktip Reef Shark says goodbye slowing down the pace and providing some FM tones and deep ambiences to this sub aquatic soundtrack for the dancefloor.
