Booka Shade - Haleshop EP

Review by Jesmion Ibekwe

Haleshop, the latest album by German electronic duo Booka Shade, is a masterclass in crafting intricate and immersive soundscapes. The album is a blend of techno, house, and ambient music, all woven together with precision and finesse.

The album opens with the track "Plexus 3AM," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album with its hypnotic rhythms and pulsating basslines. From there, the album moves through a range of moods and styles, from the eerie and atmospheric "Rosebud" to the upbeat and danceable "Sonic Playground."

Throughout the album, Booka Shade's attention to detail is evident. Every sound and every layer feels carefully crafted, with each element working in harmony with the others to create a cohesive whole. The result is an album that feels both polished and organic, with a sense of depth and complexity that rewards repeated listens.

One standout track is "Plexus 3AM (Nicole Moudaber Remix)," which takes the already mesmerizing original and turns it into a driving, high-energy techno banger. It's a testament to the versatility of Booka Shade's music, and the remix serves as a highlight of the album.
