"Heck" was one of the first songs I pressed play on in my feed this morning and while I proceeded to check my email, its allure washed over me. As the soaring synths soured towards the minute mark and the switch-up slams in, this is when I knew it was a five star stunner. It succeeds with absolutely intoxicating sound design throughout; the warbling synth to start, the rapid fire, scrubbing, trap-style drop, and the skyward spiraling second half, all amaze. The melodies are pure magic, especially in the way Airuei pairs them with pristine percussion. It's the ringing drum work that seals the first drop as one of the dopest you'll ever hear; it's just so satisfying while being brilliantly bent and oh so awry. And while I'm continually awed by the drop, the whole track fills me with such joy and faith that future bass, and music as a whole, can still be fantastically fresh and fun.
