Comment: Fortadelis is one of those electronic musicians/producers who is adept to drift seamlessly between different styles while avoiding to result in either a cheap or a magniloquent result. In truth, it is positively magniloquent because of being partly a firework of gurgling electro, lofty chill out, acidic Italo disco, dusty New Age and atmospheric/psytrance inflected music. On the other side, Tomislav Ocvirek, the musician and synthesiser enthusiast from Zagreb, Croatia likes to convey more contemporary elements to the audible interface such as hypnagogic deep house, peaky breakbeat attacks, profound delay effects (dub) and solid ambient pop. So it can be admitted the artist is an old school musician by his choice on the music instruments while being contemporaneous with the kind of artists whose premise is to match the past with the present and make thicker the cultural layer this way. In fact, any of the aforementioned elements used to reflect the other ones on its own and vice versa. Moody meets cerebral. Yeah, I guess I am going to search for the synthesiser enthusiasts from the Balkan peninsula due to having full of potential because he is the second one I have discovered recently. The first was Abul Mogard, the drone/ambient wizard from Serbia who himself builds up the synthesisers. In a word, the result is a top tier and being issued on Jamendo.
