A pair of producers based in Kent, England, Synth Sense are steadily making a name for themselves with a particularly distinct, deeper synth-driven sound. On their first release for Phunkfiction, the two have again teamed up with vocalist Rose, whom they had great success with when both featured on Anile's gorgeous Seeking You. Rose can be heard on A side I Belong; a masterfully minimal number that somehow combines an almost '80s synth vibe with beats that are pure future. The lyrics here are more assertive than in Seeking You, and the singular snare certainly has an authoritative air. Two men, one woman and some machines all working in sweet harmony to produce near sonic perfection. Unsurprisingly more mechanical is Program 3.2, with friendly little robotic bleeps complimenting the standard Synth Sense soundscape rather well. Despite being overtly synthetic in sound, the depth displayed is so warm and lush it shows just how far both software and the beatsmiths that manipulate it have come in recent years. These guys are just what the minimal drum 'n' bass scene needs.
