Drift by Nils Hoffmann

Nils Hoffmann is back on Poesie with another remix EP, Drift, with two originals alongside remixes by Ben Böhmer, Fanz Alice Stern and Kalipo.

First we have the title track, a groovy late night swing dripping with a juicy electric energy and a firm beat. Gritty swells burn through the mix as the bassline chugs and percussions boom out over a warm soundscape.
Ben Böhmer’s remix lays the track out with a lighter and more playful mood, giving the track a chilly swing while still maintaining its warmth and presence.

Franz Alice Stern takes the reigns of ‘Drift’, giving it a brooding, low down swing and with plenty of deep seeded grit. The track hits hard and hits heavy while its down-tempo groove balances the energy beautifully.

‘Feathers’ enters the scene now, and with it a collection of rhythmic synth hits crowds the focus, giving it a wonderfully hectic and energetic tone while the percussions drive the beat home and give it power on the floor.
Showing his production prowess, the German producer Kalipo takes ‘Feathers’ for a ride, giving the track massive pressure and movement while still maintaining what could be described as a delicate groove and relatively light atmosphere. It’s not until the jagged bassline rips when the track starts to show its more sinister side.
