The underground scene considered Reber’s ‘Intuition EP’ a secret favorite before its vinyl release. Through its digital release, the music became accessible to everyone who missed it before. This isn’t just another deep-tech release. This album presents a series of well-structured tracks with groove intensity that maintain intricate details without overwhelming the listener. Every track displays its unique atmosphere while collectively demonstrating Reber’s skill in fusing rhythm with musicality. The EP opens with “Intuition”. It’s smooth but not sleepy. From the very first moment, the track delivers an assured rhythmic flow through its precise drums and layered synths which provide the perfect level of bounce. This track commands attention through its subtle musical elements. The rhythmic beat pulls you into movement before you even notice.
The song “If I Were You” introduces subtle changes to the musical arrangement. The bassline shows a warm funk influence while the vocal samples maintain a minimal presence with smart execution. This music reminds me of late-night club sounds which become perfect for those moments at 3 AM when you can’t sleep. The track maintains a clean and sharp sound while keeping its playful elements. This track seems like it would get frequent plays from DJs during their sets. “Riddim” delivers precisely what its title indicates. The percussion hits stronger on this track and maintains an overall more percussive sound. The track retains Reber’s preferred slick minimal sound. The track maintains darkness and never becomes boring because it resembles a shadowy dancefloor where each movement takes place in slow motion.
The track “Tonight” stands as an ideal conclusion to the album. The drums and synths create a subtle tension throughout their interaction. The vocals are subtle, almost like echoes. This song does not evoke sadness but possesses an emotional draw that distinguishes it from the rest. This track possesses the unique ability to open up a night or bring it to a close. ‘Intuition EP’ makes no deliberate attempt to stand out yet it succeeds in doing so. Every track displays thoughtful construction while maintaining simplicity through intentional layering. Reber creates tracks that transcend simple dance tunes by building memorable rhythms that endure. The digital world becomes notably better once everyone gets access to it.
