Casual Treatment drops The Secret Code EP

After his "Inner Urge EP" dropped on the Hardgroove imprint in April 2023, Casual Treatment steps up with another six tracker for the UK don Ben Sims' Symbolism imprint this month.

Entitled "The Secret Code EP," the hefty release kicks off with the sub-aquatic sounds of "All The Way Up," a bottom-heavy, tweaked-out cut combining dance floor intensity with disorienting atmospherics. "Phenomenon" and "Secret Code" follow, gradually pulling back on the opener's heady sounds and ramping up the tension/release stakes before the heavy swing of "Cognitive Dissonance" funks things up. "Utopian Theme," an organ riff-driven ode to Detroit, walks the line between dark/light ideally before Casual Treatment disappears into the night with the tunneling groove of "Distorted Reality."
