Ruhig comes back after one year with Particles Ep as first installment of a double ep on Midgar. The record opens with Particles, an atmospheric detroit influenced cut made out of synthlines dropping like voodoo spells, epic pads and fragmented beats. Eddying follows up with a more direct approach to the dancefloor, 4/4 stomping beat and thin hi-hats backed by lasers and passionate ambiances. Etere on the B-side gives the records an halfway breath, sounds like a late afternoon walk in the fields of a southern countryside village (with constructions going on somewhere nearby), before to start again with the sweet and eerie Perle, where droney pinching drums are flooded by a swarm of dreamy fireflies. Idiom to close the ep with a fast syncopated cut, showing the approach of Ruhig to any form of musical expression and genre, far from traditional ambient or deep techno and going further, to reach out daring and more demanding levels.
