- After well-received EPs for Renate Schallplatten and I'm A Cliche, Berlin-based Israeli Moscoman makes his first outing on ESP Institute with Akachi, a mix of warm background textures and elegant percussion. The title track announces itself as a bassy roller, though the addition of riotous vocals and whooshing pads injects a generous dollop of fun. That progression, plus the unbroken momentum of its background bass groove, makes it a gift for DJs.
On the flip, "Nobody Else" hits a flickering atmosphere that just about makes it the pick of the two. Rapidly blinking arps, steady claves and hi-hats carry it forward, and its beautiful, mystic setting is completed by pillow-soft keys, which curl upwards like illuminated columns of shisha smoke.
