Thom Nagy returns to Gelbes Billett Musik with three delicately crafted tracks, that perfectly encompass his love of a tripped out, somewhat introverted, but blissfully happy dancefloor-state: his brand new "Damals" EP is wide in scale, subtle in approach and predestined for those precious moments, when night welcomes day, but seems reluctant to hand over the reigns just yet.

"Anvari" and "Sunk" both build anticipation with a steady groove, meandering chords and plucked synths, before opening up to succession of emotionally charged pianochords. Although structured similarly, each track has an altogether different vibe to it: with its fluttering synths, "Anvari" seems to float a couple of metres above ground, while "Sunk" does the exact opposite, building drama on top of a bassheavier, grittier and darker groove. Thom Nagy's decade long career behind the decks shows it's obvious influence in the steady and deliberate pace, holding these tracks together.

Meanwhile, the titletrack "Damals", is one of Thom Nagy's trademark quests through the expansive soundscapes in his head: eleven minutes of subtle tribal percussion, forgoing any obvious dancefloor-thump in favour of a refined, dubbed out heartbeat-rhythm. As often in his tracks, the highpoint is reached towards the end, when a huge pad cloaks the listener in pure sonic warmth.
