HABITAT is back with a second volume of its much-loved Metaflora series. This is another bumper 24-track collection that shows off its diverse sound and the many different talents the imprint has on the roster.
HABITAT’s second iteration of Metaflora kicks off with Mind Against in collaboration with CAY on ‘Floral‘, a spine-tingling Melodic House cut that sets a great tone from the off. Undercatt‘s ‘Split‘ layers up lush bell sounds with warming beats, and Read the News brings elastic bass and chopped-up vocal fragments to the edgy ‘Gossip‘, while the mid-section induces many highlights from the likes of Dyzen who offers the gloriously piano-laced Deep House of ‘She Likes‘, and Ae:ther whose ‘Ravenous‘ is a tense, percussive, trap cut that puts you in a moody atmosphere with bright synth lines.
The likes of Upercent also bring their own signature style to a deep, classy and evocative House and Techno that is full of detail and emotion. These tracks are well sequenced and so they play out like a DJ set in their own right, with dark moods from ‘Memory‘, grotty percussion from Vincent Vossen and delightfully tender piano chords from Toto Chiavetta on his mystic cut ‘Heiwa‘.The final section of this essential collection takes in many more standouts from on-form artists like Vaert, Soma, emceed and None Eyes, then comes to a close with the deft sound designs and taught rubbery kicks of Aries‘s majestic ‘Lights and Shadows‘.
HABITAT‘s Metaflora Vol. 2 is another crucial collection of contemporary club sounds from one of the best labels in the game. You can listen to it below.
