Pango

Pintai returns with its third release, coming courtesy of Switzerland based artist, Pango, in the shape of the ‘Helio’ EP.

Pango’s new release delves into deep, layered emotions—evoking mystery, wonder, and awe. Each track is a careful exploration of contrast: raw textures meet refined sound design, while contrasting sonic elements interlock to create immersive, textured soundscapes. Intricate, organic percussion anchors the compositions with a sense of momentum, driving the music forward with rhythm as detailed as it is dynamic.
The result is a collection that feels both exploratory and intentional—offering moments of tension, release and immersion.

Opening the release is title-track ‘Helio’, a dropped tempo journey drifting through hazy textural tones, an organic rhythm section, fluttering resonant synth tones and cossetting low-end swells all subtly nuanced throughout. ‘Christilist’ follows and picks up the tempo while stripping things down rhythmically to raw, reduced drums while an amalgamation of dubbed out stab sequences and weight subs dynamically wind through the hypnotic groove.

‘Faehtar’ opens the B-side next with bumpy bass hits and crisp, saturated percussion running alongside unfurling, cinematic strings and airy chords. ‘Wardal’ then concludes the release, diving deep via choppy bass notes, jazzy keys, intricately bubbling synth melodies and a bouncy drum groove.
