CTRL is the first single from the debut album of kiwi electronic artist, CoReZ. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Corez Friedlander is largely known for his technical drumming in the alternative rock and heavy metal genre (most notably with City Of Souls, 8 Foot Sativa, and Fornax Chemica). Expanding into the electronic genres with drum and bass act, The Mechanism, Friedlander has more than wet his feet, now ready to burst onto the scene with his debut solo album.
Just shy of five minutes in length, CTRL slightly varies from drum and bass’ 22-second rule, using 11-second phases to build at a consistent pace, preventing monotony from taking hold until the drop at the 55-second mark, releasing the full energetic and frenetic vibe of organised chaos that is CTRL. From a balance standpoint, the mix has a low-bass output, which keeps everything light and bouncy, until you almost lose hope at the 99-second mark and the bass rolls in with a transition that sends shivers down the spine, thanks to a thick undulating progression.

The elements of the track are well-composed, not falling for the amateur trap of constantly building. Instead, CoReZ wisely chooses his moments to press forward, or recede back. A quantifiably competent first release that hooks you in deeper, the further in you go.
