Canadian underground wizard Siavash returns to You Plus One with the ‘Villain’ EP. The title track is a peak-time melodic house and techno weapon, with razor-sharp stabs, a relentless groove and a haunting Persian touch. B-side ‘Babylon’ delivers a contrasting ride of shifty rhythms and delicate tones, designed for those legendary early-morning afterhours moments Siavash is known for. To complete the package, Italian mastermind CIOZ pushes ‘Villain’ to the edge of the synthesis cosmos with a ferocious remix that makes this release an underground essential.
