When I first encountered
Audeka’s sound, to tell you the truth I was a little bit confused. It was maybe
a year ago with the remix of Dabin – Mirrormask, (which I can now say is a mix
of apocalyptic fire goodness) but what puzzled me was the grand antithesis
between the holiness of the intro and interlude against the hellish pommelling
of the drops. I’d never heard anything like it before and I honestly was little
frightened. Some artists use different aliases to show off their contrasting
natures, some may use individual tracks; but Audeka just said “Let’s throw
mercy and menace in a five minute mammoth track” and good Lord the way that approach works!
Many moons later, Audeka with an arsenal of new original releases (Masada & Chaos Reigns to name two) and myself with a much better understanding of the Neuro genres, the Mythical Creatures EP was released, and it takes about 30 seconds of the intro and title track to realise that the trio use the EP to make another pioneering move into the sound.
Listening across the EP, you cannot help but have the mental image of where Mythical Creatures comes from. Personally I think of Middle Age England, with grey skies muddy cloaks and rolling green hills – but all with added magic at an average 150bpm; but when it comes to themed music, you’d be hard pressed to find anything better than this. Taking inspiration from fantasy gaming and ancient mystery worlds, you are sent across time and magic and wonder with the EP, and with it Audeka are reaffirmed as one of champions of this ever developing sound.
