Like the satisfying first sip of soda water spritz, Roland Tings’ debut EP, ‘Milky Way,’ bubbles, barms, and beads through your body. Roland Tings is Rohan Newman, a Melbourne producer who, like recent rubies Holy Balm, Forces, and Canyons, proves there’s just more and more greatness behind the great and powerful Oz. Melodic acid trips doused with swish-ticky-booms, like a rubber ball in space with endless bump and bounce. Sweet off his Japanese jaunt, speeding things down with Sapphire Slows shows, Newman’s taste is pure effervescence and buoyancy. But he’s got a percussive stickiness as well, a vim/vigor that raps and rips through Trax touch-ups and echo-plexes. Not the nineties but the “none-ties” – no glimmer glam, or sampladelic vocal vacations, or happy house heartbeats. He ends the creamy ‘Milky Way’ with a brilliantly wonky theme that springs like a wind-up toy gone loose. Roland Tings, Dings, and Zings.
