Sweden’s DJ Lily returns to his own LILIES late March for the imprint’s fifth release. Gothenburg, Sweden based artist DJ Lily heads up the BROR and LILIES labels and has been releasing his high octane take on techno via both of them over the past few years, as well as welcoming the likes of Arkajo, Jor-El aka Joel Alter and Sandra Mosh onto the imprints with original material. Here DJ Lily returns to LILIES with four fresh techno cuts for LILIES5, his first EP since BROR05 back in early 2018. “Lilies Were Here (I’ll Carry You Home Little Foal)” leads on the package with a sturdy percussive foundation while ethereal pads, echoing synth swells and pummeling low-end tones wander throughout. The “Dadda Made Me Do It” mix of “Lilies Were Here” follows next, this time opting for robust 4/4 drums, vacillating synth flutters and cinematic atmospherics. “Immediate Access” leads on the second half of the EP with a bumpy, distorted rhythm, frenetic resonant tones and expansive delays before “Brace Brace” closes the package, fusing bubbling metallic percussion with thunderous drums and unfaltering hats to create an intense, peak-time workout.
