Kaleido by Normen Hood
Zurich's Normen Hood returns to Gun Raven for a second standout single, Kaleido, featuring a Tiglon remix.
The fledging Gun Raven label continues to establish its own unique sound with a new single from Normen Hood. The label has picked up plenty of high-profile press and has worked with artists like Marshall White, Swim the Shine and Juli Lee while a remix by Timo Maas also proved a big hit.
Next, it is Normen Hood, a real hero in his local underground scene in Switzerland, who impresses once more. His emotionally charged sounds have taken him to legendary clubs and festivals such as Hive, Bagatelle, and Chat:eau and renowned labels such as Endangered, Hive Audio, and Casomat.
The brilliant "Kaleido" is an airy and uplifting melodic track with deft drums and percussion forming the hypnotic undercarriage for what is a cosmic exploration. From broad synth sweeps to pixelated pads and loopy melodic refrains, this bright, widescreen sound is packed with great craft and emotion.
Tiglon is only one of the many monikers of the Stockholm-based remixer whose journey began in the early 2000s. He produces a wide range of sounds, from D&B to acid techno and everything in between, but Tiglon is for anything with a four-four beat. He flips "Kaleido" into a darker, more driving, and hard-edged percussive cut for late-night sessions where dramatic synths and turbulent bass all power on.
