Can't hide it, the Wrocław-based XDZVØNX since Spacefest 2018 have their own special place on my playlist. After the brilliant album TAPE_01, the duo is back with an EP called MAYKO.
While on the LP you could say the band balance between folk-inspired electronics and hip-hop, the EP clearly underlines the former. Perhaps it's because xBORAx's vocals reminds me heavily of the ethno music and even if the artist uses spoken word/screaming, she uses this folk-ish voice melody.And then, there's also the song Mayko zelena that sounds absolutely like a deep bass flavoured party in the Eastern Poland.
This combination of the utterly modern music with the East European tradition sounds not only unique but also refreshingly energetic. While I would love to hear more rapping by xSNUFKINx, I have to objectively say, the Polish artists are going in the right direction.
MAYKO costs 5 EUR (21 PLN).
