Èbony is the guise of Toronto-based producers Sylvermayne and Jordan Gardner, who together have built a catalog of tracks for just over a year now. Described by the pair itself as landing between “the futurist perspective of Detroit techno and the soulful melodies of Yoruba house,” Èbony’s sound seeks to balance dancefloor appeal with a rewarding listening experience, as can be heard in “Sunshine,” the pair’s latest track offered here. Anchored by the bounce of stuttered kicks, the production gradually builds layers of gloomy atmosphere that encircle the tune’s intricate percussion patterns and recurring swells of melodic synth sequences, ultimately rendering “Sunshine” a somewhat deceiving title for this quality outing from the budding Canadian pair.
