Old Times from Sequences EP by Szmer

Following 2022s Darkness Falls EP, Polish artist, Szmer is back on Ben Sims Symbolism juggernaut with an intoxicating four-tracker in the form of Sequences EP. Sequence 6 sees Szmer lean heavily into dense, sci-fi soundscapes. Woozy but pounding, its peak time and potent in equal measure. Old Times, while more stripped back and gentle in its progression, is no less exhilarating than the EP opener. Raw Thoughts, a gritty and distortion-fuelled exercise in percussive minimalism, pairs nicely with closer October 8, a summing up of the preceding tracks themes and a powerful, late-night rattler.

Ben’s music has graced labels such as Tresor, Drumcode, Mosaic, Karlovak, Bass Culture and CLR, while also founding many cult imprints, including Theory, Hardgroove, KB Records inc and Symbolism plus a steady stream of high profile remixes over the years for scene heavyweights, including Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Kevin Saunderson, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Oscar Mulero, DJ Rush and more.
