this one was introduced to me by my good friend jan henrik, he played it on the morning after a house party shindig. parts of the party was shot on video and it was a real serene moment when he played the track. i heard a short clip of it and it just pressed all the right button for me.
i didn't know anything about ruxpin but i was told that he was icelandic and specialised in very floaty and atmospheric type of music. the drumtracks are both four on the floor and breakbeats but they tend to be very subdued and fit in that microhouse mold. they are punchy enough to be played and to be beatmixed with but it doesn't work on the main room unless it's at the end of the night.
it it very much afterhours stuff or something in those grungy side rooms where weird music is eaten up like that. there is that notion of how it would sound if kaito/hiroshi watanabe would sound on the city centre offices label.
this track sounds with metallic drum sounds but swiftly goes into some lovely long pads that float away and bring the chords progression that is prevalent in this track. ruxpin knows his way around these sounds and soon as the main melody hits it is all so serene and beautiful. it really rides on the perfect blend of ambience and bite as the drum track is very fitting for the top.
but the real strength of this track is how the sounds progress within the chord progression and it isn't just one type of floaty pad but it has so much variation within the general theme. it's a masterful track and a track that often pops up in my head when ever i choose to walk late at nights.
