'Schematic makes his return to Flight Pattern with “The Hermit EP”, a solid four-song collection showcasing his talent and skill as a producer. We start with the warm, lush melodies of “Expectations”, a running, deep roller that gets rough when the time is right. Next we delve into the heavier side of things with the title track “The Hermit”, driving hard with it’s rich atmospheres and angsty rhythms over an equally aggressive bass. “Full Windsor” moves us back into proper attire with silky transitions, sleek drums and a morphing, moody low end. We finish with “Breakthrough”, a ground-breaking collaboration between Schematic and two names that are new to the imprint: Tyr Kohout and Anastasia! This soulful masterpiece of raw vocal talent and synthetic melodies echoes the message of self-reliance and overcoming obstacles, and is a fantastic close to “The Hermit EP”, a perfect reflection of the wide variety of work Schematic brings to the table.'
