Pokies - Loner On A Surfboard (HOTCONCEPT002) by Hot Concept published on 2020-02-05T13:08:44Z Hot Concept returns with a release from a remarkable and previously undiscovered Australian talent; Pokies. ‘Loner On A Surfboard’, features four distinctive tracks that blend an ambitious range of influences, from UK funky and broken techno to ambient-acoustic experimentation, into an unpredictable and wildly original dancefloor EP. Demonstrating a sharp ear for sound design throughout, Pokies takes the opening shot of ‘Macadamia’ to establish his masterful use of percussion, transforming a simple drum tool into an intriguing and hypnotic invite into his expansive musical outback. With open minds locked in, ‘Folk Devil’ transports listeners and dancers down a sonic wormhole, an unexpected blend of stuttering drums and delicate acoustic strings that furnish an atmosphere of unique psychedelia. ‘Once a Week’ allows Pokies to luxuriate deep in this landscape, applying waves of bass pressure to an intriguing design of analogue experimentation. It's up to ‘Tranzend’ for hard-boiled resolution, as a creeping melody climbs upwards in tempo - harder, faster, weirder - transitioning from the sublime to the truly ridiculous.
