In the first week of its release, Medicinne's "Saving/Lucid" EP has garnered great reviews and full support from some of the world's top DJs. Here are some of the highlights.
LessThan3:
"Medicinne is the collaborative moniker of DJs Arcader and Allen Tagle, who combine forces to craft groovy tech tracks using only the bare necessities. Their latest offering, the Saving/Lucid EP, demonstrates just how much one can accomplish with little more than a drum machine and some well-placed vocal samples.
The EP kicks off with Saving, a subtly syncopated banger that patiently warps and builds with carefully timed percussion layers unfolding and interacting across its six-minute runtime. Lucid is similarly percussion-driven, but quickly establishes a unique identity for itself with a rollicking, freewheeling bassline that's guaranteed to leave your head spinning."
Notable Dance:
"Following from yesterday’s theme of mellower genres rising from the EDM/big room sound, let’s take a listen to these two deep/tech-house tracks from Medicinne. The duo of Arcader (“Pillowtalk”) and Allen Tagle start with “Saving,” which is a bit more uptempo with a bouncy beat, effected vocal, and bit of the retro Nu-House vibe while still staying in the tech-house world. “Lucid” feels more like a progressive concept album track from the ’70s, as produced with modern electronic elements. It has a few guitar elements that are reminiscent of Deep Dish during the “Flashdance” era, but overall has more of a feel of mid-’90s progressive house/trance. Both tracks will work for DJs looking for deeper tracks for early evening play and for listeners looking for tech-house tracks that have a beat that you can still chill with."
FluxBPM:
"Saving / Lucid will be praised and supported from all the big guns in the industry and with a reason, of course. Saving is such a funky groover that will immediately lock you in its groove and will be super hard to resist it and not start tapping your feet or moving and shaking your body."
