about

Montreal-based producer Simon Sizer returns to Steyoyoke for his third EP, ‘Forbidden Realm’. Over three tracks he takes listeners through a dark and diverse landscape, where his masterful command over tones and effects stretches the boundaries of minimal techno.

The first track, ‘Prime’, is a strong beginning, establishing an air of mystery that sustains throughout the EP. He strikes a balance between a rich bass and echoing higher tones that evolve as the track builds; it is a track that radiates power. ‘Underskin’ follows, pulling the listener deeper into a dark, minimal space. It takes a more ominous turn - building up points of tension before using heavier, bass-driven sections to plunge the listener back down into the dark. Bordering on the cinematic, it showcases Simon Sizer’s attention to detail and command over a mood. The final track, ‘Stranger’, is a compelling number that would sit well in any techno set. Pairing darker textures with more upbeat and synth-driven interludes, he perfectly combines the strongest aspects of the EP to close it off with a stand-out track.

This is another impressive release for Simon Sizer, another point along his upward trajectory. In ‘Forbidden Realm’ he shows growth as an artist whilst maintaining a consistency of style – and doubtless much more is to come.
