Kaspar Kochker- This is Riga EP

Wednesday, April 14, 2010



Kaspar Kochker, through his This is Riga EP [L8-Night Records], takes us to the streets of his beloved city, Riga, Latvia.

As a whole, this four-piece release is quite different compared to Kaspar's productions that I have reviewed previously. There are still hints of progressive house music in this release; however, tech, minimal vibes with hints of electro dominate This is Riga EP.

Modernize is a bustling piece with really saturated melodies that get complemented by the dense bassline-- definitely a carries elements something new to me. The second track-- Old Riga-- stomps its way to the EP with its electrifying melodies and edgy synths all brought together in a playful manner.

Maskachka hits hard with its monstrous basslines and lethal synths making it the most aggressive track on the EP. (You don't wanna get caught walking alone on Maskachka, by the way.) Contrasting the previous, Streets of Riga caters easy-going melodies pumped with energetic dirty basslines infused with some samples from tech and deep genres.

Modernize, Old Riga, Maskachka, and Streets of Riga are four tracks that depict Kaspar Kochker's hometown in Latvia. Just close your eyes and imagine what the artist is trying to portray.
