So far this year, Moscow-based Makebo has contributed tracks to two compilation-style EPs on All Day I Dream and Shanti Radio. Here the publicity shy artist returns to the latter label with a debut single that's well worth a few moments of your time. He first navigates the "Dense Forest", a dense thicket of foliage that wraps nature-fresh melodies, chink-of-light strings and photosynthesis pads around a rubbery tech-house groove, before inviting us to gaze upon the magic and mystery of hybrid deep house/tech-house workout "Wizard". He continues this combination of hazy warmth, melodious musical flourishes and rolling beats on B-side opener "Wanderer", while closing cut "Sentiment" is a richly orchestrated treat for those who like their club cuts to come complete with a sizable dose of emotion-rich musicality.
