Olendo has returned to Magnetic Magazine Recordings with the two-track EP ‘Folklore’, a release rooted in rhythm, repetition, and human timing. The EP prioritises movement and physical response over rigid club formulas, offering tracks designed to be experienced fully rather than skimmed for instant gratification.
The title track ‘Folklore’ opens the EP with layered hand-played percussion, subtle texture shifts, and steady momentum. The groove develops gradually, revealing small rhythmic details as the arrangement progresses. There are no abrupt drops or formulaic climaxes; instead, the track builds flow through motion and careful pacing, rewarding listeners who pay close attention.
‘Chains’ follows with a darker tone and tighter pulse. The track sustains energy over longer passages by focusing on restraint and rhythm rather than dramatic shifts. Pressure, repetition, and pacing take centre stage, creating a hypnotic effect that emphasises physical response and immersive listening.
Across both tracks, Olendo emphasises feel over finish, leaning on organic sounds and human imperfection to drive movement. The EP aligns seamlessly with Magnetic Magazine Recordings’ catalogue, which has consistently favoured music that encourages long-form listening and DJ sets that unfold naturally.
With ‘Folklore’, Olendo continues to explore the intersection of rhythm, texture, and physicality, delivering an EP that rewards attention and invites repeated play. It is available now via Magnetic Magazine Recordings.
