Tangible Assets returns with its fourth release in the series by label owner Stojche. An outlet that’s given the Berlin based producer the freedom to explore and distill his trademark dubbed out Detroit fueled productions. Asset 04 follows on from three previous releases and opens its account with ‘Payback’. A dubbed out affair that’s firmly grounded in a powerful groove. Stojche sets about reinforcing his strengths in composing a surgically laden foundation with precision placement of 909 toms, panned snares and staggered kick drums that proceed into razor sharp hats, blooming into subtle delayed pads which are further lifted by emotive and colourful chords. Payback’s true charm lies in its ability to capture an honesty and sincerity that’s as captivating as it is transcendent.“Tunnel’ continues where ‘Payback’ left off and leads in with a booming cavernous kick drum, diving directly deep into a wonderland of mysticism, an effortless trademark that’s clearly evident within all of Stojche’s productions. Rich swirling pads rise and sit happily beside cleverly programmed melodic keys that tease in out of the mix, directly complementing the main elements of its structure. If anything, ‘Sinister Alley’ should be further proof of the Macedonian born producer’s maturity in exploring the outer worldly and broken beat time signatures. His approach in creating both depth and enchantment is both pragmatic and effective. Beautifully deep, undulating and atmospheric. ‘Sinister Alley’ opens with an airy signal that captivates upon overture. Combining quintessential snares, a series of rapid fire hats that are anchored by an analog baseline, he sets about creating hypnotism with layers of atmospheric suspense, while fluttering waves of electronic circuitry waver in the distance. A multitude of pads and textures combine to create an ethereal feel and harmonic cloud to float within. Tangible Assets 004 is far more than just another chapter in Stojche’s musical journey and much more than just another release on his label. It’s further evidence and development in a sound that truly captures the essence of the man behind these tracks. An ethos he’s been exploring for quite some time, catalyzing imagination and furtherance that’s beyond tangible.
