Symplex-Sonar / The Enemy
Released: August 26th 2019
Label: Red Light Records
Catolog: RLDIG049
Red Light Records are a label whose roots are firmly planted in the darker world of drum & bass. Over years they’ve been crafting their reputation, release after release, only putting forward the most cutting-edge music which their label head Optiv has sought out from every corner of the drum & bass world. Optiv himself has his own show stopping reputation, the type of which has made him a pivotal part of the genre’s fabric as part of the C4C outfit. It’s this experience which has helped him become a trend setter within his field, giving him the eye for A&R which has enabled him to pick out artists like Symplex, who’s about to add his own take on the Red Light sound. Symplex hails from the drum & bass microcosm of Czech Republic, a country well known for putting on huge events throughout their vast sprawl of club spaces.
After releasing on labels such as Citrus, Disturbed, Mindtech and Nocid Business, his addition to the roster of Red Light will set the anticipation around his forthcoming single on the imprint. Both ‘Sonar’ and ‘The Enemy’ are two tracks which perfectly exemplify the music which Symplex has dedicated himself to. ‘Sonar’ begins the ruckus, slowly bringing you up into its first drop; it’s the type of explosion which peppers the music of Symplex and the records which he has stashed away in his DJing artillery. As the track finally breaks, you’re taken along a bassline running through like a freight train. It crashes across smashing drum sequences and pads of percussion, proving how cutthroat Symplex’s production is.
The flipside is ‘The Enemy’, with a hook that catches you between each carefully fashioned segment of
noise. It’s another climatic record which highlights the ingenuity of Symplex’s craft and proves that he’s one of the most exciting newcomers to come from Red Light in recent years. It also demonstrates the A&R of Optiv and the scope which Red Light has, something well documented across both its discography and roster. For another release they maintain these levels, bringing Symplex into the fold for another genreshaping output.
