On Relieve the Pressure, Venjent brings his knack for turning everyday sounds into bass-driven music to a set of tracks with a reflective streak. Titles such as “Emotional Intelligence,” “Artificial Love” and “Tell Me I Can Love Myself” point toward themes of connection and self-worth, set alongside the playful directness of “Not that Deep.”
The LP also gathers collaborations with Oktae on “Little World” and Middle Milk on “Sick of It,” adding to Venjent’s characteristically offbeat, idea-led take on drum and bass.
