It is no easy task to blend the cerebral with the soulful - the two tend to stand at opposing corners in the deep house world and producers are often forced to choose one or the other - to mix both is a lofty aim. MadderModes may not have set out with this merger in mind when launching the project - Mental Space - but the end result is striking in its effortless fusion. Released under the artists own label, Shift Coordinate Points, the EP consists of two tracks: Mental Space and Human Science. The titles, of course, lead one to assume there will be a strong degree of technicality and complexity behind the songs and indeed there is, what is surprising is the level of personality and moodiness that also exists.
