Andrew Azara makes a welcome return to Cécille with his ‘Cosmic Girl’ EP,comprising five originals from the Dublin via Barcelona artist.

Born in Ireland and now based in the Spanish hotspot, Barcelona, Andrew Azara has been making his mark since 2019 with regular appearances behind the booth across Europe and South America and a string of releases for the likes of DJEBALI and of course Cécille where he returns here following 2024’s ‘Right On Time’ EP.

Title-track ‘Cosmic Girl’ leads with robust drums, dubby stab sequences and tension building resonant flutters at its core before ‘Mattika’ lays down organic percussion, bouncy sub bass tones, an amalgamation of vocal chants and fluttering synth loops.

‘The Jam’ follows on the flip-side, stripping things back to a raw, reduced rhythm section, plucked synth notes and dynamic effects throughout. Obsession then concludes the vinyl release with a groovy bass line, choppy samples and heavily swung drums before the digital bonus cut ‘Doing It’ completes the package, laying down airy strings, bright chord sequences and jazzy bass tones atop a minimalistic drum groove.[info sheet from distr.]
