The music of Canadian producers Adam K and Soha has been overshadowed somewhat by the unstoppable rise of fellow Toronto-based electro/progressive house star Deadmau5, yet their productions could be considered just as accomplished.

Following their hit ‘From The Speaker’ on Mark Knight’s Toolroom in June 2008, the pair now return to Toolroom with ‘Questions’ EP, a record that shows the pair are beginning to explore darker territories beyond the crowd-pleasing melodic progressive house sound championed by Deadmau5 and his contemporaries.

They are pushing deeper, even.

On the EP, the Long Range Mix of ‘Choose Your Weapon’ in particular, is a clever and evolving techno beast that swaggers with confidence - it’s unafraid by the lack of a hook line, and embraces FX as its proprietary weapon.

‘Question’ too, is much more stripped back than their previous work and features a very clever stumbling bassline that keeps you guessing about where it is heading next.

Adam K and Soha haven’t quite abandoned their ingrained sound yet though as ‘Who Cares’ finds them back on familiar territory with an uplifting progressive house number.

Overall, I think the release is another string to their bow however it remains to be seen whether or not their fans will appreciate the duo’s yearning for exploration.
