Olendo returns to Magnetic Magazine Recordings with his new two-track EP, ‘Folklore’, out now. The release focuses on rhythm, repetition, and human timing, favouring physical response and immersive listening over conventional club structures.
The EP opens with the title track, ‘Folklore’, built around layered hand-played percussion and subtle shifts in texture. The groove develops gradually, revealing intricate rhythmic details as the track progresses. Instead of sudden drops or formulaic climaxes, the track prioritises flow and momentum, rewarding listeners who engage with its evolving patterns.
The second track, ‘Chains’, takes on a darker tone with a tighter pulse. Energy is sustained through restraint, repetition, and careful pacing, creating a hypnotic effect that moves both mind and body. Across the EP, Olendo leans on organic sounds and human imperfection, emphasising feel over polish.
‘Folklore’ aligns perfectly with Magnetic Magazine Recordings’ ethos, offering music that works as much in immersive listening sessions as in DJ sets built around long-form progression. The EP demonstrates Olendo’s continued exploration of rhythm, texture, and physicality, producing tracks that reward repeated plays and attentive listening.
‘Folklore’ is available now on all major streaming platforms via Magnetic Magazine Recordings.
