Najem - Hydrocarbon EP

This latest release sees Ai’s sound forge further ahead this time with it’s quest to provide forward thinking techno to the masses.
NAJEM SWORB is a French DJ and composer living in Strasbourg. From the outset, the ’Hydrocarbon EP’ heads straight for the jugular with Hydrocarbon itself opening with a wash of luscious synths that are soon joined by a heavy kick that will instantly get your head nodding and your feet setting themselves a direct route for the nearest dancefloor.
Najem cites influences from some of the techno greats and Hydrocarbon gives a nod to the legendary Basic
Channel but manages to put a modern day spin on their sound rather than just delivering a poor imitation as can so often be the case.
’Not only’ and ’Veladcre’ are both solid groovers that are again focused firmly on the dancefloor. The EP closer
’Teranidian’ mellows things out a little and is a deep atmospheric affair with floaty synths supported by subtle
percussion and again takes inspiration from Basic Channel as well as more modern day variations of this sound such as Deepchord or Echospace.
