Taker EP

Morgan Zarate's futuristic pop constructions and elegant takes on hip hop and R&B on this new EP are really something to behold. Take lead track 'Pusher Taker'. With Roses Gabor's softly sung vocal, and with the kind of melodic hooks and chords that wouldn't be out of place on a psychedelic period Prince production, the track still ends up sounding contemporary as a high contrast pop grime mutation with whipping snares. 'Kaytsu' is pretty much Hypertrap, with rolling beats, delayed chords and snares rolling across heavy bass kicks, creating a dynamic rhythmic vortex. 'Far Too Late' feat Tawiah is clap heavy R&B with energetic mid range funky worms and wooshing synths accompanying Tawiah's angry vocal. Finally, 'Tayco' explores a kind of future primitive grime, to good effect. It's a mixture of glassy industrial sounds and what sound like acoustic drums and wooden hits that give the track a really unusual feel, the rhythm track builds up and down with a real sense of urgency.
