Born and Left EP

Pastor manages to take influence from a number of sounds on the title track. Featuring stripped back, broken beats, "Born" also offers lullaby melodies - think Dominik Eulberg at his most fragile - and a rolling, drunken vocal. The Zusammenklang version is also an amalgamation of various influences, with the heavy, funk bass of nu-disco underpinning joyous, spine-tingling Kompakt melodies. Till Kruger offers a radically different take; his beats are stomping and amid the searing acid line, it's just about possible to hear muffled vocals. Finally, Pastor's "Md_Ma" is more stripped back, the beats practically microscopic as delicate trance melodies encircle them.
