SVT074 Dapayk & Padberg – Fluffy Cloud - Vinyl

Ahead of their third studio album Sweet Nothings, Dapayk & Padberg tease their evolving sonic direction with the Fluffy Cloud EP—a vinyl-ready release that delivers three standout cuts from the forthcoming full-length on Stil vor Talent.

Opening the A-side is the album’s title track, Sweet Nothings, a deep yet driving groove built on distorted hi-hats and trance-tinged synth stabs. The contrast between euphoria and restraint is heightened by Padberg’s haunting vocals, repeating the lyrical motif: “You’re good for me – you’re bad for me”—a signature moment of emotional duality.

Track two, Backyard, shifts into a dubstep-inspired soundscape, weaving ethereal lyrics with spacious, atmospheric production. It’s a fragile and deeply intimate piece that bridges the gap between electronic pop and cinematic minimalism.

On the B-side, Fluffy Clouds lives up to neither its title nor expectations. Instead, it plunges into raw, peak-time techno, channeling Berghain-ready intensity with pounding kicks, metallic textures, white noise, and a hypnotic spoken word mantra: “Not human, not animal – just a body in motion.” The result is pure machine funk, delivered with clinical precision.
