UK-based producer Risk Assessment returns with ‘Stereo:type EP 4′, a thrilling four-track collection that oozes peak-time energy and sharp, disco-driven grooves designed to light up any dancefloor.
True to his form, Risk Assessment delivers a set of tracks that feel both timeless and contemporary, with each cut adding a unique twist to the modern disco landscape. Opening the EP is Something New, a track that immediately grabs attention with its sparkling, crystalline synths and a warm, expansive atmosphere. The track is awash with lush pads that give it a dreamy, almost euphoric quality while maintaining an infectious drive. The uplifting melodies are sure to spark the kind of emotional high that only the best disco-infused house tracks can deliver, setting the tone for the rest of the release.
Next, Party People brings a raw and live energy to the EP. With lo-fi drums, sharp slapping hits, and a vocal performance that channels the gritty spirit of James Brown, this track feels both organic and electrifying. The funky vocal, full of swagger and groove, propels the track forward, while the infectious percussion builds momentum in a way that feels as if it could burst out of the speakers at any moment. It’s a celebration of sound in its most unpolished, spontaneous form—perfect for those late-night dancefloor moments when the crowd is hungry for something real and raw.
The third track, Like This Like That!, leans into funkier territory with its jangly guitar motifs and an irresistible array of percussion. There’s a loose, energetic vibe to the track, with elements constantly shifting and colliding to keep things fresh and exciting. It’s the kind of track that never lets you get too comfortable, continuously pulling you into a vibrant, rhythmic whirlwind. The combination of funky guitar and lively percussion provides an irresistible groove that will have listeners hooked from the first beat.
Finally, Girl At The Disco brings a welcome change of pace with its more sensual, slinky grooves. Here, Risk Assessment taps into a smoother, more seductive vibe that contrasts with the raw energy of the earlier tracks. The track’s seductive basslines and gentle melodies slowly worm their way into your affections, creating a groove that feels both intimate and immersive. It’s a perfect track to wind down the EP with, offering a moment of cool, seductive bliss amid the high-energy rush of its predecessors.
Overall, ‘Stereo:type EP 4′ is a potent, club-ready offering that showcases Risk Assessment’s skill at blending classic disco elements with fresh, forward-thinking production. Whether it’s the crystalline atmospheres of Something New, the live energy of Party People, the funky percussion of Like This Like That!, or the seductive groove of Girl At The Disco, this EP delivers four tracks that will ignite the dancefloor and leave a lasting impression. A must-have for any disco lover, and a testament to Risk Assessment’s ability to craft club anthems with soul and swagger.
