Bákayan & Groove Shack Bring The Goods On The ‘Neowl’ EP

The three-part package includes a remix from Berlin-based producer, Sascha Cawa.

Projecting a forward-thinking sound palate driven by deep musicality and collaborative, creative endeavor, all eyes have been firmly set on Elif’s nascent Marginalia imprint since its inaugural release back in September. For the final release of 2023, label boss Elif is proud to welcome Turkish-born, Berlin-based producer Bákayan and German talent Groove Shack for their respective label debuts, as they present their brand new ‘Neowl’ EP.

Recognized by some of the industry’s best selectors for their inimitable, avant-garde productions, both Bákayan and Groove Shack’s ability to synergize complex textures with underground rave aesthetics is second to none. Now, teaming up for their first official collaborative release together, the two artists continue in this vein, as they explore the limitless boundaries of raw, underground house music with minimal grooves and dark, stirring tones.

Twitchy drum patterns, expertly manipulated vocal drops and gritty basslines ignite the three-track package, as Bákayan and Groove Shack take us on an intense peak time journey through the chaotic opener ‘Neowl.’ On remix duties, the middle order sees the introduction of Berlin-based producer and Kater Blau resident Sascha Cawa.

Lastly, and completing the three-part package, is ‘Doppelganger,’ a more ravey, old-school offering featuring rap vocals in Turkish from Bákayan and in English from Groove Shack.

Delivering incredible energy and melodic dissonance across its duration, Bákayan and Groove Shack capitalize on their innate ability to draw you into a new yet familiar construct, as they explore a remarkable array of timbres from across the house music spectrum to close out another impeccable EP on the budding Barcelona-based label.

Bákayan, Groove Shack – Neowl EP (Incl. Sascha Cawa Remix) is out now via Marginalia.
