Khemikal - Justice EP Review
Silos feat. Nel Amore have released their debut EP Justice, 5 tracks with thumping base lines, some repetitive hooks and a brit-chick that raps and sings. She goes by Nel and along with her sidekick Silos they are a duo cutting some electronica beats. Both obviously have a bit of talent because the track production isn't terrible and the songs themselves are ok.
According to their bio they are influenced by the 'UK Dance Scene and acts like The Prodigy, Underworld and Roni Size and that is pretty much the type of sound that comes across when you listen to the EP.' I guess what makes their sound original is the female lead vocals and rapping in a British accent.
The EP starts off with Cinemathique which is a decent beat and the vocals match, it builds like any other dance track and finishes well. The second track Stripclub musically is similar to the first, and the lyrics are all about taking your clothes off which should not surprise you. Stripclub also has a youtube clip that you can check out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZsDFat5bXM.
I am not a massive fan of dance music and try to stay open minded, I definitely like to be surprised and write about how I enjoyed listening to either certain songs or parts of an album. After the first two tracks were a little repetitive the last three songs Charlie's Smokehouse, All I Need and Whitney had some points of difference but pretty much followed the same format. I think maybe after these two get some more experience and growth they will find a winning formula.
