Desaturate - Spite (Original Mix) [Juicebox Music]

Janko Dragovic is no stranger to Juicebox Music. After making his initial appearance, as one half of Progress Inn, for a remix of Blusoul’s “Depth of Emotion”, Janko makes his return to the imprint with a 2-track EP through his solo project - Desaturate. His self-released album - ‘False Dichotomies’ depicted his broad musical taste ranging from chill-hop, breaks, lo-fi house to even liquid drum & bass. In his own words - “A concept for an album that would portray a slightly different side to my productions and show that many differences that people squabble about are all part of the same beautiful spectrum of music that many of us see as one continuous experience. The album is a work of pure love and I have put all my heart, mind and soul into crafting it as I’ve recorded, written and mastered all the songs myself as well as taken care of photography and design of the artwork.” Back to the more dance-floor oriented space, we’ve seen Desaturate’s name attached to some incredible remixes as well as the rare singles & EPs, including the collaborative ones with the legendary Rick Pier O’Neil, comfortably finding their home on “Replug Records”, “Balkan Connection”, “Proton Music” & “Particles”, to name a few. For his EP on Juicebox Music, Desaturate brings two powerful cuts to the table. The dark & mysterious tone on “Titan” is set by a deep yet rumbling bassline, carefully crafted aggressive percussion and a celestial atmosphere swirling around the top, leading to the breakdown where the mood gets enhanced by subtle yet effective melodic parts that eventually head straight back into the darkness. “Spite”, an apt B-side, is straight no-nonsense heads-down number focusing primarily on the heavy thumping groove with a slightly modulated drone bass assisting it’s progress, while the spacey effects orbit around.
