Reddfield EP: A Trance Trip Worth Losing Sleep Over
Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The Reddfield EP by Reddfield is one of those hidden gems that slaps you in the face if you’re into raw, unfiltered trance. Released back in 2016 under Positronic Digital (a label that knows its stuff), this US-born beast doesn’t mess around. It’s four tracks of pure electronic euphoria with enough energy to power a small city. But hey, not all tracks hit the same, so let me break it down for ya.
First up, "Beneath The Ribbons"—this one sticks like gum on a hot sidewalk. From the first beat, it grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. The synths spiral outta control, but somehow they keep it tight, like a coiled spring ready to explode. There’s something about the way the melody builds—it’s hypnotic as hell, man. You can almost feel yourself floating through neon-lit streets at 3 AM, even if you're just sitting on your couch eating chips. This track? It’s got teeth. And claws. And maybe a little bit of soul too.
Then there’s "London Longing," which feels like staring out a rain-soaked window while your brain spins wild stories. It starts off slow, teasing you with soft pads and distant echoes, but then BAM—it kicks in hard. The bassline hits like a freight train, and suddenly you’re not just listening anymore; you’re living it. I don’t know what kind of sorcery Reddfield used here, but damn, it works. Every time I hear this track, I get flashbacks to places I’ve never been and people I’ve never met. Weird, right? But also kinda beautiful.
The other two tracks, “Circulate” and “Pulse,” are solid, no doubt. They do their job—keeping the vibe alive and kicking—but they don’t leave the same scar on your memory as the first and last ones. Still, props where props are due—they round out the EP nicely without overstaying their welcome.
So yeah, Reddfield EP. Four tracks, zero filler. If you’re into trance that punches harder than your ex ever could, give this a spin. Honestly, though, I didn’t expect an album from 2016 to slap THIS hard in 2023. Makes me wonder how many more bangers like this are hiding in plain sight. Maybe we should dig deeper before AI takes over and starts making music for us. Oh wait… too late? Shit.
