Electronic/Review Prigida - MM

The EP “MM (mikey m)” by Prigida is a remarkably personal and evocative production that encapsulates the emotional landscape of post-dark metropolitan existence. This project transports the listener to a realm of memory, space, and aural debris by drawing inspiration from the sonic heritage of Burial and the rhythmic undercurrents of UK house. Here, there are no conventional instruments, only voice memos, dictaphone recordings, and conversational snippets that have been creatively twisted into engrossing, rhythm-driven meditations.

The documentary-like nature of “MM” is what makes it unique. The sound of shoes on damp pavement, the buzz of streetlights in a deserted city, or a wandering voice captured in mid-thought are all examples of how each track feels like a sonic snapshot. These snippets are the beats, not only their accompaniment. In a way that is profoundly evocative and emotionally stirring, Prigida crafts rhythm from everyday existence by fusing the mundane with the supernatural.

The EP is ideal for lonesome late-night listening or dozing off on the train journey home since it strikes a balance between being club-ready and reflective. Its mood fluctuates between energy and melancholy, yet it is always kept together by a faint pulse that seems natural and unforced.

Prigida's “MM (mikey m)” is more than simply tunes; it's environments. It's a captivating addition to the canon of UK electronic storytelling and a mesmerizing, grainy depiction of the city as experienced through memory and movement. This EP is a must-listen for lovers of ambient, experimental, and underground electronic music.
