Just two months after his last EP, NLD has a brand new one for us! Forecasts show mostly hardcore with a touch of house, all with a spooky ghost vibe going on. Catch the full thing after the break.

To start off, Trip, which we saw a couple of weeks ago, is a tech house song that feels somewhat reminiscent of certain deadmau5 tracks. It’s not often a single chord sustained throughout an entire song sounds good, but NLD makes it work it seems…

Bringing the tempo right back up again is Frustration, and after 30 seconds we’re back into hardcore/speedcore territory (I may have that wrong, forgive me speed music overlords). Take a listen if hard, fast, distorted kicks are your thing.

Moving even further into speedcore territory is Shadow Spade. With its detuned saw leads and manipulated, reversed and echoed vocal samples, it adds a lot more to the spooky vibe this EP is going for.

On to Contingency, the final song on the EP which begins with a weird, muffled voice surrounded by crowd noise and some creepy sound effects. Props to NLD for the manipulation of whatever samples he used here, with a very odd and unsettling ambiance. An interesting way to end the EP, but I guess that’s what makes NLD’s stuff unique.

You can always count on NLD to do something a little bit more on the experimental side of music than the usual stuff we post here. While this doesn’t stray too far left of field overall, it certainly gives a good variety of tracks from the simply-structured Trip to the downright mental Contingency. Nice work Derp.
