about
The latest single on Yeti Out's leftfield music imprint Silk Road Sounds is "Pikes Pique (Hill Climbing)" by house/techno producer Closet Yi. As part of the South Korean producer's forthcoming EP for the label titled 'Speed Heals,' an adrenaline-filled cadence lays down the foundation to a brooding track, building up to a crescendo where a slow hill climb in the 2000 Honda S2000 is comparative to a stroll through downtown Seoul or Hong Kong, moments before we hit the club in a post-pandemic world. While uncertainty is in the air, a formative kick & snare rhythm gives repetitive structure, before a nostalgic injection of the Roland TB-303 bassline harks us back to days of dancing till the early hours. As the concept of time departs from the progress of existence into a metaphor for stillness, the first single to 'Speed Heals' sets the tone for the EP as we embark on a journey through late-night exploration.

My whole body agrees with the pace of this short but solid track list. A generous helping of acoustic rhythm samples ignited by breakbeats add extra attention to full range movement on the dancefloor. Not a beat wasted. cherub420
