Cryptic Shadows Newest ‘Body’ of Work Surfaces as Debut EP

Venezuelan artist Cryptic Shadows is providing a haunting dose of new music with his Body EP. Body is comprised of three pulsing dance music heaters that are a true testament to the talent behind the Cryptic Shadow project as heavy hi-hats and oscillating basslines bring the new alias to life. 

“Alone” weaves velvety vocals into a pulsating bass line with deep funk inspired synths. Clocking in at nearly seven minutes, “Alone” culminates elements of funk and house while lending a passionate edge through the vocals. Titular track “Body” has garnered impressive support across the realm of house music since its release, setting the tone for the EP’s funk-infused aesthetic. “Body” accentuates bouncing synths and a pulsing bassline overlaid with hypnotic vocals that overtake listeners while falling into a deep funk-infused drop. The EP’s final track “2 Steps Back” incorporates an infectiously looping bassline as the progression of dark instrumentals coupled with glitchy kicks and hypnotic vocals captivates the listener from start to finish. 

Carmelo Borrego has been rolling through aliases like Kharmelo and Cryptic Shadows, and continues to work tirelessly to create a standout name for himself. Cryptic Shadows is en route to perfect this freshly minted electronic sound that will surely define the next step in Borrego’s career.
