Darius Vaikas - Basement Cosmetics

Review by Clare Froggatt

Basement Cosmetics by Darius Vaikas is an impressive album that showcases the Lithuanian producer's talent for creating intricate and emotive electronic music. The album's 11 tracks are a mix of deep house, techno, and ambient, and they all share a common thread of atmospheric and introspective soundscapes.

The album opens with "White Eights," a deep and hypnotic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Vaikas takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and textures, from the pulsing beats of "Sundays" to the dreamy pads of "Baltic Waves."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "I'm Sorry," which features haunting vocals from VILIJA. The track is a beautiful blend of deep house and ambient, with VILIJA's vocals adding a touch of melancholy to the already emotional track.

Summary by Clare Froggatt

Basement Cosmetics is a well-crafted and cohesive album that showcases Vaikas' talent for creating intricate and emotive electronic music. It's a must-listen for fans of deep house, techno, and ambient music.
