The experimental rave that could be found on Yves $aint Lambert’s latest 2-song EP is punchy and intense. Loaded with acid jazz harmonic choices and heavy-hitting trap beats, Sheytan Them ALL is a memorable short listen.
Belgian raver and musician Yves $aint Lambert is based in Liege and utilizes a fully DIY approach to making his rhythmically intriguing and crisp sounding instrumental rave pieces. Using only his laptop in the comfort of his home, the two pieces on Sheytan Them ALL use the same musical elements, twisted differently to yield different results. The neatness of the production on the EP surely displays the rising artist as a budding force to be reckoned with in the scene of rave and ghetto music.
‘Dementia’ is the EP’s first cut. Introducing Yves $aint Lambert’s unique rhythmic flair, the percussive elements on the piece are novel and display the artist’s versatility. The track also features a synth line that plays an acidic set of chords that are downright infectious. ‘Dementia’ is catchy and fascinating, if lasting only a little under two minutes. The titular piece follows. ‘Sheytan Them ALL’ possesses aggressive processed vocal yelps that compliment the track’s anxious and clicky synth-based soundscape. Rhythmically intricate, the piece is multifaceted, taking the time to fade to black in its middle, before exploding again with an all-new rhythmic idea.
Yves $aint Lambert’s short 2-song EP is an edgy and venomous showcase of his musical vision and versatility as a producer. A rising artist who is on his way to becoming a darling for the loyal, loving scene of ravers.
