David Mayer returns to Ouie following his well-received The Call EP from 2018 and The Circle released on the new sub-label Ouïe Circle. Though being born in south Germany, Mayer grew up between Norway and Lanzarote, perhaps a clue to his expansive and border-less sound. Here he brings three new tracks to the label from Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan. Title track "Skanda" is a psychedelic trip through firing percussive elements, wonky synths, distorted vocals, and an unstoppable groove. "Snake Dance" has a similarly unhinged feel, building around a one-note bassline and crisp, rolling drums before heading to the stratosphere with sparkling arpeggios. On the B-side, there's the vinyl exclusive, "Ouroboros" - an eight-minute odyssey into Mayer's interest in hypnotic percussion and psychedelic track structures.
