For catalogue number 15, Radikon welcomes an unlikely duo hailing from Germany and Ukraine. Arude and Tantum contribute ‘Glare’, a bright two-tracker that conjures feelings of airiness and hits where it matters.

The title track unleashes a cascade of luminescent synths and arpeggios with unparallelled clarity and purpose. A compelling lead theme sets a repetitive mantra that modulates and morphs endlessly, drawing the listener deeper into the the young producers’ compelling soundscape, while retaining the minimalism and energy of a true dancefloor weapon.

‘Arbit’ seems to explore the boundaries of the musical scale. Gliding arps and synths intertwine in shimmering salvos that bend in and out of tune and combine into a barrage of fascinating harmonies. With ‘Glare’, Arude and Tantum join the Radikon ranks with a bang. With masterful production and compelling themes that beg repeat, ‘Glare’ ticks all the right boxes.
