PREMIERE: Dycide - Coincidence [Crescent London]

Electronic tracks typically channel a specific mood or vibe. They make us feel things…some caress with their warmth; some pound us with their anger and despair; some push us into anxiety; some make us dance and some hypnotize us. It is a select few tracks that manage to be emotive and yet remain ambiguous and mysterious. Dycide's Coincidence is such a track. It starts sparse, dark and hypnotic, with the typical echo-y bassline and plenty of percussive elements…But as soon as your musical eyes get used to the darkness, a floaty melancholic piano line floats in…oh, a touch of melancholy here…And, suddenly, almost happy, floaty pads take over…right along with the same dark and hypnotic bassline and piano that's no longer wallowing its melancholy…If I didn’t know it was the same track, I'd guess it's a skillful DJ mixing several different ideas together..and yet it's one track that manages to glue such different sounds together and throw a nice kaleidoscopic blanket over the listener.

‘Meanders’ compilation is coming out on February 18th via Crescent London
