BSD-09: Iti - Colourful Choices

On Butter Sessions, Iti presents Colourful Choices, a collision of vivid synth melodies and fractured drum rhythms. The title nods to the multicoloured lights and patch cables of his synths - the primary source of the record’s motifs.

The EP opens with the title track Colourful Choices, beginning with a shimmering string-synth that bends and twists into a playful, colourful melody. It’s joined by a punchy drum-machine rhythm before descending into a gritty, driving bassline. Exit shifts the energy with garage-electro edge, its weighty low-end anchoring robotic synth stabs before erupting into a heavy 2-step breakdown. Lost in a Tangent moves into more intricate terrain, pairing rolling skin-drum percussion with snappy breakbeats and a saturated chord melody. The EP concludes with Ampersand, where a fragmented lead-line meets a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm section, crafting a shadowy club sound that emerges into moments of euphoria.

In an era of highly-polished production, Colourful Choices sees Iti emerge as a producer unafraid to harness raw sound, delivering music that is tactile, striking, and entirely his own.
