TULUM, 8 Feb
Siege DJ 'Edge' on Xpressed Records
Hyenah placed 'Edge' by Siege DJ eighth of 15 in the 'Electrologing' chart on 6 February, as the Tulum season reached its second month. The Extended Mix of 'Edge' is filed as Progressive House on Xpressed Records, released on 20 September last year, tuned at 120 BPM in G major.
Xpressed Records said of the release: "a dynamic and emotionally charged project, rooted in his personal journey. Through pulsating rhythms and evocative melodies, The Siege DJ crafts a soundscape that reflects the conflict between societal expectations and personal reality." The label added that the work "stands as a movement towards authenticity." The track leads with its percussion, the drums carrying a lot of incident, sitting low in level with a moderately open space beneath the peaks and a light touch across the top end. It makes for an absorbing, carefully layered listen, the kind of progressive house that rewards attention to its detail.
