The new Drumcode EP by Bart Skils and Weska, “Something More,” is very inspiring

Bart Skils and Weska are a fantastic duo, both as friends and as musicians. Together, they’re having a great run, and their third EP on Drumcode, “Something More,” is further proof of that.

One of the most intriguing transatlantic collaborations in techno is taking shape between Bart Skils and Weska, who have released two fantastic EPs together so far (‘Polarize’ and ‘Shades of Summer’) and collaborated on a remix of a Sven Väth classic (‘Spectrum’) under the Metal Master moniker for Cocoon.

Their consistent stream of releases, “Something More,” continues. The title tune blends fast drumlines, heavenly pads, and a soaring male voice to strike a delicate balance between melancholy and euphoria; it was made for a festival stage. Meanwhile, ‘Palm Strings’ is a slick beast, with rolling percussion loops rubbing shoulders with an ambient melody line until a thunderous bass riff pushes the intensity up to eleven.

“Bart and I have become close friends over the years and genuinely love making music together. Despite living on different continents, making music is seamless. We’re always on the same page creatively so we’re constantly bouncing ideas off one another. ‘Something More’ and ‘Palm Strings’ is a pair of these ideas that came fully to life and we couldn’t be happier with the results.” – Weska
