St Germain - Forget It

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-simo-cell-obi-1

‘Obi 1′ presents a solid minimalistic structure. A stumbling bassy kick is seasoned with incisive sounds hinging on their echoes. Buzzing synths interlace with porous flares in the frame of cavernous reverberations, enhancing the rhythm whilst keeping the tonalities balanced. Murky spiralling laments bestow the track with a thriller sci-fi halo that won’t fail at raising goose flesh.
