With the fourth installment of his “Midnite Ride” album series, which has been streamed by millions, Viennese beat authority Brenk Sinatra delivers a perfect soundtrack for the hot time of year. Brenk’s sophisticated productions could never really be easily categorized, and this time too, Midnite Ride II skillfully bridges the gap between boom-bap and trap, two musical camps that are often considered incompatible, with a variety of soundscapes. In addition to Brenk’s classic laid-back instrumentals such as the single “Raindrop Motel”, produced together with lo-fi pioneer Wun Two, the album also includes much hard-hitting tracks such as “Call The Police” and “Boo Ballin’”, which are bursting with dark synth sounds and heavy drums. Whether spherical or in your face – Brenk Sinatra’s trademark instrumentals always manage to spark up the head cinema from the very first second and are perfect companions for midnight road trips.
