Timelapse, Adran 'So Good' on AXEPT

Yulia Niko's Melodig chart on 26 June is dated a week after her previous chart, and it has a different character to it, as well as a different number of records in it. It is a chart with a very clear idea of what it wants to be, and at its head is 'So Good,' a record by Timelapse, Adran. It is a debut for both artists on AXEPT.
'So Good' is not the kind of record that wears its drama on its sleeve. It is a percussion record at heart, and the rhythm section is given a lot of room, but the harmony is given equal ground. The percussion part has a lot in it, and it carries the record through its peaks, which are not steep but have some give beneath them. The top end is temperate, and the record feels like it is made for rooms where the sound system rewards restraint as much as force. It is a record that rewards a patient listen, and it is a strong way for Timelapse, Adran to introduce themselves to the label.
Yulia Niko's chart has five records from AXEPT in it, and this one sits at the top, which suggests the label is doing something right with the artists it is bringing through.
