MZA


Eldritch Terror (Prelude)

Genre: House

Released: Yen Disco

Listen here on Spotify.


Indicative of music to come, Eldritch Terror (Prelude) sees underground producer and DJ MZA of Yen Disco summoning woozy textures and idiosyncratic sampling over steady downtempo beats. The result is a hypnotic, kaleidoscopic listening experience. Here, its densely layered beatwork is deceivingly simple – as hazy yet concise textures mesh with sparse key work and eccentric sax samples, MZA anchors its sum with a skittering groove. With its bass synths, steady kicks and snares set alongside intricate hi-hat patterns, Eldritch Terror (Prelude) finds a keen kinetic energy that also recognises the power of dynamics – captivatingly alternating between holding back and letting loose. Together, they form a unique sonic take on the mystery and bewilderment that accompanies the track’s Lovecroftian namesake.
