UK house music virtuoso Jack Beats & rising star Qlank are constantly raising the bar to new heights so it’s no wonder that they’ve teamed up for the ‘Paradise’ EP. The duo kicks off the release with ‘Higher’, a percussive extravaganza that bounces through uncanny territory and into a heavy, textured bassline. ‘Hold It’ takes the EP for a darker turn, whose indistinct vocal samples lend to a haunting breakbeat buildup that cascades into a menacing, pounding bass drop. The release is rounded off by ‘Feel’, a moody groover featuring emotionally-charged vocals from Quinn that shapeshift into a UKG-tinged breakdown. A unique brand of house homogenizes when Jack Beats’ signature dark motif and melodic synthwork merges with Qlank’s clean, bass-heavy production style and we aren’t mad about it.
