Your EDM Premiere: One other Blast of ‘Poisonous’ Bass from Tengu [Korsakov Music]
It’s not really been a very long time since Tengu’s Digital Actuality EP, which launched on Korsakov Music in early June this yr. Maybe it’s the truth that he’s launched fairly a bit since then that makes it really feel it’s previous time for one more partnership with the Dutch dancefloor label. Dancefloor speaks to dancefloor, in spite of everything.
Since that powerhouse EP, Tengu has launched two tracks on Toronto Is Broken’s YANA Music imprint, a observe on UKF’s most recent compilation EP and a collab with fellow Korsakover AL/SO on High Tea’s impressively diverse Jasmine series. All that work and we nonetheless really feel it’s excessive time for one more Tengu/Korsakov Music dancefest. Fortunately, we’re about to get it.
The twin single “Poisonous”/”Out the Means” drops this Friday, September 2 and exhibits Tengu’s personal range in a approach many followers is not going to anticipate. The ostensible b-side “Out The Means” options Whiskey Pete and is a more durable, heavier model of Tengu’s normally jumpy fashion. There’s plenty of sound design that makes this heavier sound doable: he makes use of an especially fascinating and presumably heretofore unheard echo impact to make the entire observe sound such as you’re listening to it contained in the Thunderdome. With the starburst synths, the phrase-connecting sub synth and Whiskey Pete’s aggressive/bordering on meniacal vox, when the large shock hits after the break, followers will likely be properly and really gobsmacked with this observe.
Our YEDM premiere “Poisonous” is extra straighforward D&B however there’s a depth to this observe that’s shocking as properly. That backstage-at-a-bloodsport-arena vibe is again with extra echo and cinematic sound design and plenty of components such because the ravey synths, the mixdown and the secondary and tertiary synth chords give a classic techstep vibe with out being too throwback about it. There’s defintely a releating theme to those two tracks with the general design, and it will be extremely cool to see them combined collectively, maybe with a cheeky Britney Spears pattern combined in as a nod to OG “Toxic.” Only a thought, DJs.
Despite the fact that Tengu and Korsakov Music look like a predictable pairing due to their sharedlove of dancefloor, “Poisonous” and “Out the Means” carry sounds and types that will likely be shocking for followers of each the artist and the label. Becoming in completely with the moody march into fall gigs, there are countless combine and double drop possibilites for these tracks that may make the dancefloor shake like Mad Max is on his approach.
“Poisonous”/”Out the Means” drops on Friday, September 2 on Korsakov music. Pre-order avaialble on Beatport.
