I'm not letting summer disappear that easily. I'm going to hold on to every ounce of warmth and freedom I can. That being said, I'm not ready to delve into the darker genres on Soundcloud just yet, so I'll be searching for summery tunes to write about, in hopes of maintaining some semblance of sanity. In a couple months when it's snowing and subzero all the time, I'll be out of my mind and looking for some bangers to rage to. Until then enjoy the ease of tunes like the following:
"
Ghosts In Tokyo" is the lead and title track from Korean producer
Fat Hamster's latest EP, released Friday on his own label,
Letz Ratz. Right off the bat we're greeted by waves of warm synths with a strong bass bounce undertow. The groove is strong yet sensual, never overpowering, just steadfast with its careful caress. There's a cinematic feel to the whole track, one that makes me think it perfect for its own anime, as a music video or intro theme song.
Fat Hamster has filled it with progression, weaving a story in the lapping waves of ecstasy. The bridging bit in the middle (starting at 2:30ish), is my favourite aspect of "
Ghosts In Tokyo." It's got a brilliant sheen to it, rebuilding the track with a more boisterous bass. This new rippling bass design furthers the imagery of a wave pool. As the thumping bass comes to a climax, the waves recede and all calm is restored. It's the kind of track you can kick off a party with just as easily as you could use it as you kick out all the guests ending the party or even the summer. Get
