Rule Of Thumb

Dutch upstart Epsie pulls a rabbit, or maybe a Roland, from the hat with Rule of Thumb, a debut EP that’s as wobbly and wide-eyed as a warehouse party at the early morning hours. It’s a marvel of mangled synth wizardry and chopped-to-hell drum patterns. ‘Fedde’ kicks things off with a percussive punch, while ‘Electric’ takes a turn down acid alley, featuring a 303 line. Cohesive yet full of surprises, it’s nostalgic and danceable, tailor-made for all forms of dancing.
