Victor Ruiz – Freedom EP [DC225]

Hot off the back of a contribution to A-Sides Vol.9, Victor Ruiz returns for his

second EP on Drumcode.

The Brazilian artist has been an industrious contributor to DC over the past 12 months, beginning with his excellent debut EP

‘Nimbus’ last May. Since then, he’s played Drumcode Festival, was part of the iconic Warehouse Project party in November and

also featured in the first Drumcode Indoors session in March. His production prowess will be fresh in the minds of DC faithful after

‘Intuit’, his collaboration with Thomas Schumacher, was a standout of the recent A-Sides Vol.9 compilation.

The ‘Freedom’ EP is Ruiz’s next offering and emblematic of the creative breakthrough he experienced while crafting the fourtrack

work. The title track is led by hypnotic rhythms and deep bass stabs before a vox enters the fore and builds to a delicious

climax. ‘Illusions’ is a pulsating bassline-led groover that builds alongside mystical vocal effects. ‘Senses’ exudes an understated

touch of Detroit soul and is a handy DJ tool for varying occasions. ‘Existence’ is a searing late-night techno affair, as layers of

melody and swelling pads conjure a thrilling laser-kissed atmosphere.
