lynchy dada - wake up

heard this one through soundcloud and an account called futuregarage.net that highlights all sorts of new bassy music that is being released. often i try to look into more of the artists/acts if one of the songs is to my liking. "wake up" came to my hearing about a month ago and i was taken a back by the atmosphere and the laidback but somewhat hypnotic notion to it.

from what i gather lynchy dada is an offshoot of a project called mrs. dada that consists of frenchmen guillaume lenoir and ivan carel. they make music that would be categorized as future bass and that basicly means post dubstep and all sorts of other mutations. but for this project lenior teams up with vivien deneuville & céline lanquetin and the focus is less on the dancey tip and more chillwave or dreampop like.

it's headnodding music at it's finest and it's really sets a mood right from the beginning where a long sustained pad is being ducked while you hear fragments of field recording sounds. a really slow rhythm is eventually established and the general motif is established as light vocals come in and grace the soundscape. you can hear everything being drenched in reverb and effects and i like the peak moment in the middle right before it break down and almost resets the track.

at that the end of this middle section you hear some nice darker vibes for the tail end of the track and it's all these small sounds scattered around the track that makes this track brilliant. coupled together with the long synthetic pad that make it push forward or float on until the end of the track. brilliant.

mike sunday - hiding

found out about this one when i was on soundcloud on the look for remixes say lou lou's "julian" and canadian producer & dj had done a bootleg. i liked it and did the customary thing of seeing what else was on for showcasing and right up top there was this track called "hiding". he tagged it deep house but i would more likely to play it with some of the progressive house from a decade ago.

starts out with a big lucious reverbed groove with and it quickly gets to business with this vibraphone-y lead line and some female vocals. here is where i explain that sunday has sampled a version of "hiding" by american singer-songwriter meiko, whom i've never heard of prior to hearing this version. but i do like both versions at hand but i prefer mike sunday's rendition more. the bassline and the lead really works well and i like those small bits of field recording sounds.
