Animal Trainer – Yamato

Beatport: http://bit.ly/2Ml5W3T Get Physical heads to Switzerland and the always interesting duo of Zurich’s Animal Trainer for its next EP. The last decade has made household names of Animal Trainer thanks to their left of centre take on house and tech. From Mobilee to Hive Audio to Stil vor Talent, the pair have worked with the best in the game and now make a welcome debut on Get Physical with two of their finest cuts. ‘I Have A Cat’ is the cleverly rousing opening track. Mid tempo drums are embellished with deft details that range from tinkling percussive sounds to paranoid whispers and sweeping synths. Enchanting vocal wails add a sense of exoticism at the mid point and make this a charming and standout effort. More direct is the colourful ‘Yamato’ with its bigger drums and dramatic chords all demanding your attention as they duck and dive throughout the mix. Sweeping synths and spoken word vocal snippets add up to a track that swells a number of times before really carrying you away from the mid point. These are tasteful club tracks with plenty of musicality to go with the muscular grooves. www.getphysicalmusic.com/
