Private Eyes, a duo made up of Interstellar Funk and Jeroen, two storied members of Amsterdams underground electronic music community. 500, vinyl only. TIP! Their Safe Trip debut consists of two analogue-heavy electronic workouts that tend towards the atmospheric. A-side -Mirror Image- is spacey and melodious, with an Italo-disco inspired arpeggio bassline underpinning galactic chords and memorable piano lines. It s a collection of complimentary analogue elements tweaked for maximum late night enjoyment. On the flip you’ll find -Anasazi-, an altogether deeper, more hypnotic affair. Its distinctive rhythm comes not from bold drum machine beats, but rather the rising and falling of intricate, micro-house style melodies and looped electronics. It feels like it was influenced by the aural textures of dub techno, the phase-based minimalism of Steve Reich, and the deep space ethos of early 90s European ambient music.
