American artist Dan Sieg, whose debut artist album ("A Sense Of Wonder") this past year proved to be a veritable tour de force, has emerged as one of Silk's leading talents. A musician who is constantly pushing the boundaries of various electronic subgenres, Dan awes us with his extraordinary range yet again with the downtempo progressive house EP, "Moonstruck." The title cut clocks in at a slow-burning 112 BPM, but the intricate rhythm and moody soundscape are expertly crafted from the composition's opening moments. The patient groove slowly crescendoes, as a gorgeous, bell-synth lead progression is woven through the mix. In the breakdown, the main theme opens up and envelops the listener with warm, radiant vibes. One of Dan's most technically brilliant works to date, "Moonstruck" will likely be appreciated most by true audiophiles, as well as fans of deep electronica. On the B-side, Dan contributes the cosmic "Over The Stars," a more traditional progressive house offering (at 124 BPM). One again, a subterranean groove is met by a delicate, yet strikingly beautiful arp line. The bassline begins to pick up steam, while a few additional midrange layers complete the crescendo of the melodic themes. In the break, a powerful climax evokes an awe-inspiring celestial event.
