Blackloud – Synesthesia EP
Blackloud closes out the year with a three track melodic house/techno EP called “Synesthesia”. The exceptional set from Turkish born Can Karabulut consists of “Magenta”, “Teal”, and “Anthracite”. The DJ and producer, who is now based in Prague, Czech Republic, teams up for the sixth time to release an EP with WOLD Records, an independent record label founded in Oslo, Norway in 2014.
“Conceptually derived from the psychological phenomenon synesthesia, where those affected experience a perceptual difference in the experience of the 5 senses, his EP aptly aims to associate color with sound. Across the EP’s 3 cuts “Magenta”, “Teal” and “Anthracite” we see Blackloud illustratively weave together compositions of melodic deep house and techno that evoke an imaginative chromatic response.
The first of the triplet, and an essential primary color in the printing process, “Magenta” was inspired by the essential organic sounds of Blackloud’s studio: a cricket’s chirp, the chatter of a cat and the collision of a coffee mug on his station’s surface.
Absent of direct external inspiration, “Teal” was the color envisioned by Blackloud when building the production from break-beat rhythms. In likeness to the EP’s namesake, the resulting track evoked the experience of the bright blue derivative.
Driving in nature, the brooding hues of black and blue inspire the dark, atmospheric club-ready number “Anthracite”. Structured with emotive chord progressions alongside sharp arpeggios, the track brings the EP to its conclusion with energy and intrigue.”
