Neik’s taste and skills increasingly captivated both Fun founders, but he rarely wanted to share his own sounds. Why? Nicolás Neik studio’s basis are far away from sharing everything online, his creative strength invigorates massive brainstormings and only outstandingly stops the work in progress finishing a track.

Therefore, Fun004 must be unveiled, and enjoyed, and Mike Shannon’s F9M remix is what grants a last outstanding coup de grâce: ethereal atmosphere, slippery vocals, padded white noise and a feverish bass create an electrifying dialogue with Neik’s F9M and the whole EP’s direction.

From EXP to MEV, each Neik’s track bends straight minimalist sounds to welcome a new vibrant vision of forward-thinking house. Beats, melodies and rhythm have finally got rid of the 4/4 dancefloor Canon, thanks to MEV we are not going to miss it as assumed.

By constantly re-editing, redesigning and studying its compositions for several years, Neik’s groove attains a misleading complexity that circles and empowers the whole three tracks; surprisingly making us feel as if it was an easy conquest. To exploit its deepness and reach both our mind and body, the beat metamorphoses from ubiquity to intermittence with uprising bursts of intensity.

At the first listening, inner emotions may vary speedily, as if collapsing: stop trying to predict what’s next, let yourself go and you’ll suddenly find Neik’s new way to beat the house. The old manual lows its effect; Neik’s beatmap will only be disclosed by intuition and dancing.
