💬 MY PERSONAL TAKE / МОИ МЫСЛИ

RU:
SAAND в этом релизе уходит от привычного лос-анджелесского лоска в сторону сырого, гипнотического андеграунда. "Mash Down Babylon" — это шикарный симбиоз даб-регги вайба и плотного афро-грува. Особенно порадовал Drum Mix от Simone Glad — это идеальный инструмент для диджеев, который можно бесконечно наслаивать в миксе. А ремикс от Double Drop на трек "Africa" добавляет релизу именно той этнической мощи, которую ждешь от RYTHMICA. Очень своевременный и качественный релиз для весенних оупен-эйров 2026-го.

EN:
This is a side of SAAND that feels incredibly authentic and raw. Moving away from polished melodies toward lo-fi textures and dub-heavy basslines, "Mash Down Babylon" is a standout peak-time weapon. The vocal elements give it a primal, rebellious energy, while the Simone Glad Drum Mix provides pure utilitarian brilliance for the heads. The Double Drop remix of "Africa" is the icing on the cake, delivering a sophisticated Afro-tech drive that’s perfectly optimized for big systems. It’s an EP that values atmosphere and grit over simple hooks.
