With “Kickr”, doerd delivers a confident yet refreshingly unpretentious debut on Plastic City – a release that lets the music speak with clarity rather than volume. The EP introduces the producer’s artistic identity through two reduced, groove-oriented deep house tracks that strike a careful balance between club-driven energy and deliberate sonic restraint. Instead of leaning on flashy hooks or oversized drops, doerd focuses on the essential elements: pulse, texture, groove, and atmosphere.
This approach gives the EP a raw, honest quality — the kind of authenticity that emerges when a producer trusts the power of subtle movement over overt dramatics. Every sound feels placed with intention; every rhythm breathes with space. “Kickr” and “Ortho” evolve gradually, building a hypnotic momentum that invites listeners into a deeper listening experience, whether on the dancefloor or in a quiet, reflective moment with headphones.
🎵 Tracklist
1️⃣ Kickr: A reduced deep house tool with rolling basslines, clear drums and finely placed accents. Minimalist, driving and perfect for setting the tone for early warm-ups or late afterhours.
2️⃣ Ortho: The warmer, more introspective antithesis. Velvety textures, soft pads and a calm, continuous groove create an immersive feeling – ideal for deeper terrain and atmospheric transitions.
The “Kickr EP” stands as a subtle yet powerful counterpoint to today’s rapid electronic landscape – timeless, precise, and guided by a producer who knows the strength of restraint. With refined groove and space, the tracks unfold quietly but with intention, revealing their depth through fine details.
The tracks on this EP don’t force themselves on you – they quietly draw you in and don’t let go. “Kickr” and “Ortho” show an artist who understands that deep house doesn’t have to be loud to make an impact. Deep, honest and straight to the point – doerd‘s debut on Plastic City is music for the head and heart, for intimate dancefloors and for all those who appreciate true understatement quality.
