Molotov Heart Cocktail / Lowitzer Ep is a militant sonic manifesto of Bratislava’s upcoming synth-fi gang, whose main protagonists are the DJs and producers Stratasoul and Stroon. Inspirations ranging from house and soul to wonky, glitchhop and bass define their production: multidimensional sonic assemblages revolving around the topic of love. Stroon’s Molotov Heart Cocktail is an euphoric but distorted memory of a club where everybody has their hands up. Reality, twisted by various substances, is penetrated by a steady beat, accompanied by Stroon’s trademark distorted walls of synth. Stratasoul’s romantic gangsta glitchhop overlaid by dancehall snares climaxes in an epic refrain with vortexes of pitch-shifted vocals that decompose in cascades of echoes. Mutual remixes confirm the complexity of the preached sound - Stroon and Stratasoul’s method of choice here is cut-up, nevertheless as it is the case with love - the intricate ones fascinate us more.
