Scala Muziek presents its second vinyl EP, Next Horizon, building on the
success of the debut release. After a remarkable year of music and events,
this EP embodies the spirit of exploration that defines Scala. Produced by
label head Pascal Benjamin, the four tracks blend hypnotic grooves with
forward-thinking soundscapes—each crafted to leave a lasting impression.
A1: Personallity opens the EP with minimalist, richly textured rhythms. Its
bouncy, infectious groove and subtle shifts in bass and melody create a
dynamic flow, making it perfect for both dancefloor energy and introspective
moments. Pascal’s attention to detail shines through, balancing personal and
expansive sounds. A2: Progress delves deeper into rolling rhythms and
uplifting sonic layers, with ethereal synths floating above a driving beat. The
track unfolds gradually, building momentum with a continuous, evolving
motion. B1: On the flip: Shifting Grounds brings a sense of exploration, with
gurgling synths and subtle modulations creating a cerebral yet physical
experience. It's an atmospheric, groove-laden track perfect for late-night
sessions. B2: Far From Clear closes the EP with a moody, introspective
energy. Eerie vocal snippets and sharp minimalism weave together to create
a haunting, mysterious atmosphere, rounding off the release with a deep dive
into uncharted sonic territory. With Next Horizon, Scala Muziek offers a
refined selection that showcases Pascal’s artistic growth and the label’s
commitment to immersive, forward-thinking music.
