UK producer Shape Worship will be dropping his debut release, the Observances EP, later this month, with the spiralling “Mzungu” serving as its opening track. If this tune is any indication, Shape Worship seems to come from the Four Tet/Gold Panda school of production, as he combines quasi-melodically clanking percussion, gliding synth melodies, and immersive textures with just the right touch of dancefloor shuffle here. Those interested in seeing if the rest of Space Worship’s debut lands on more similarly interesting intersections between club and headphone music will have to wait until Observances sees an official release on January 28 via Exotic Pylon.
