The frenetic world of electronic music is full of distractions and diversions, hindering the ability to find transcendent music. Let Oggie James be your guru and lead down the path to musical Enlightenment.
Album, song and event reviews, mixtapes, and radio shows, light the way to Enlightenment, conveyed by Oggie James.
Last month, one of electronic music's top talents, Daktyl released a magical and moving single called "Veins Detached" with help from Roméo Testa. A testament to Daktyl's exceptional abilities, today he released a live video of him performing the entire track all by himself. Watch below and purchase here.
While the live performance is an absolute marvel, it would be impossible not to consider the quality of the original craftwork. A brilliantly subtle yet exceedingly cool and captivating studio production, the genius of Daktyl and "Veins Detached" is on full display here. I've always been a fan of Daktyl's soundscapes, largely due to their immersive and intimate feel. It is as though he's dropped you onto a blank canvas, proceeding to paint around you in incredible detail. Here he succeeds in making "Veins Detached" both warm and cold, comforting and melancholic; which is of course the mind-blowing, can't-look-away, quality of the studio version, ultimately magnified in the stark nature of this live performance. While the lyrics would suggest expiration and the end of movement, Daktyl gives the track new angelic life through his guitar work, only to leave us wanting more. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as though we'll be seeing Daktyl in person any time soon as he has no current concert dates, however he is planning to release weekly loop videos which you can find on his twitter below.
