One of this week's releases from ThazDope Records comes from a new name on The Untz Festival this year, Shift Mojo. This new talent hails from the great state of Georgia. He's brought us quite the unique take with his three-track EP, The Observer Axiom.
This opening statement, “You Are The Breath,” kicks off with some nice percussive work while instructing the listener to "Breathe In" and to "Breathe Out." Our Narrator also states "You are the universe, you are the energy, you are the breath" right before taking us on a very melodic, crunchy, psychedelic voyage.
The title track starts off with the right amount of space between the notes, the track comes to the audience with a bit more of a sexy vibe. When I heard this track, I immediately threw it into my "Get your freak on" playlist for 2018. Soulful, melodic, loving goodness from this guy.
“Knuckle Thruster” opens with some abrasive hits and a ringer through space and time. Shift Mojo lets us know that the ride is nowhere near over, yet. The unique layering of the right elements of melody vs textures really hit home with me on this entire EP.
I would say that if this is his debut onto the scene with this collection, we have many more amazing tunes to look forward to from the newfound gem.
