Samuel Thalmann aka Okain follows up his digital label debut, Some of My Tools (2014), and his praised collaboration with Onno (UY 085EP, 2014). Coma delivers swirling hi-NRG synth modulations and super-ecstatic vocal bits for those who like to get into the groove. Prime-time heaven. Karma is clearly focused on the deeper end of the spectrum, with spatial effects and mellow, slightly dubbed-out chords meeting muscular drums, Balearic sample-work, and scenic string arrangements. Silver Door delivers Chitown-reminiscent phonk, stripped-down production, and an almighty acid line to hype the crowd right before floating synths up the intensity. 01. Coma, 02. Silver Door, 03.
