A year after their triumphant debut single „Chasing You“ (mobilee 014), Sleeper Thief are back with another creepy-crawly two-tracker that’s got thrills and chills to spare. Sleeper Thief are Audiofly and Miss Jools, and in addition to their individual releases for labels as diverse as Kickboxer, REKIDS, Get Physical, Moodmusic and many more, Sleeper Thief have also remixed Phonique (for Souvenir), recently did a remix on Meerestief ltd and some more. Their style is a mixture of close-to-the-ground suspense and high-stepping drama and demand for their inimitable style is growing. On the A-side, “Cenotes” takes its title from the limestone sinkholes, naturally occurring groundwater wells, that the Maya used for religious rituals (and possibly human sacrifice). Accordingly, the track is as humid and exotic as the jungles of the Yucatán, complete with the synthesized cries of forest beasts and hazy chords that rise as tentatively as steam from misted leaves. A deadweight bass buzz anchors a nimble synthesizer figure, and ambient washes of sound fill the speakers before disappearing again, leaving only that spindly groove running like a reminder of long-ago rites whose vibrations still move the heavens. Something for your body and your mind, “Cenotes” is as hypnotic as it is hyperkinetic. “Vaja Te Suba Te” is a nine-minute blast of delicately percolating percussion, swirling bleeps and slippery sheets of oily reverb. The title must be a pun on the Spanish phrase “Go down, come up,” because the tune’s a veritable roller coaster of peaks and valleys: after a demure start, its rushes become more relentless, its downhill accelerations more hair-raising. Nine minutes long, it flashes by in a fraction of the time. Best of all, it never forgets that roller coasters shouldn’t really be scary. (There’s a reason they’re called “amusement parks,” after all.) Flashing little melodic winks that glint beneath the blurred motion, it’s horrorcore with a happy face.
