Alright, let’s dive into Twisted EP by tONKPROJECT, a little gem from 2008 that slipped under the radar for many but still packs a punch if you’re into Progressive House. Released on the Italian label Consorzio Italia, this EP feels like a snapshot of electronic music’s golden era—no frills, just vibes.
The track "Twisted" is where it all clicks. It’s got that classic progressive build-up we know and love, but there’s something about the way the synths swirl around you—it’s hypnotic, man. Like, you’re not sure if you’re dancing or just zoning out in the best way possible. And then BAM, the drop hits, and suddenly your living room feels like a club in Milan circa 2008. You can almost smell the fog machines and spilled drinks (or maybe that’s just me). Anyway, it sticks with you because it doesn’t try too hard; it’s smooth without being boring.
Then there’s "Behind," which takes things down a notch but keeps the mood alive. This one’s sneakier—starts off chill, almost like background music, but before you know it, those basslines creep up on you. It’s kinda like when someone whispers a secret in your ear at a party, and you’re like, “Wait… what did they just say?” That’s "Broken"—quietly intense and kinda unforgettable.
Overall, Twisted EP isn’t gonna change your life or anything, but it nails the vibe. If you’re into late-night drives or pretending you’re DJing in your bedroom, this one’s worth a spin. Honestly, listening to it makes me wonder how many other hidden gems are floating around from that time. Maybe tONKPROJECT was ahead of their game, or maybe they were just messing around. Either way, props to them for making something that still slaps over a decade later.
Fun fact: I once played "Twisted" at a friend's barbecue, and everyone thought it was some new trendy track. Nobody believed me when I told them it was from 2008. So yeah, proof that good beats never really go out of style.
