78/100

Today we have with us a very interesting electro track from the emerging label Universe Recordings. “DEKA” has a promising tribalistic themed big room/electro mood which definitely keeps up the energy till the end.

That’s a production by three talented artists: Ronny Leon and SALAS from Venezuela and a duo from Portugal, Dual Gravity. I would like to underline a detail I often find in Portuguese tunes: the acid lead in the drop. From KURA to KEVU, a lot of producers from that country adopted an aggressive sound, and Dual Gravity is a new element of the list.

By producing “DEKA”, not only they had an imposing effect on my mind, but also on Blasterjaxx’s ones! In fact, the Dutch duo played it on Tomorrowland this year, an interesting achievement for the four artists. Now, let’s talking about this track. As I said before, this release has a kind of tribalistic theme attached to it, a scheme very used in modern big room nowadays. A prime example of such style of music could be “Dirty drums” from Badd Dimes and Kill The Buzz.

Sure, I’m comparing DEKA with a different song, but it’s hard to find similarities because this is pretty original and creative. The artists involved did a great job!

The track starts with heavy percussions and a pitched up vocal sample, which gives a different energetic touch to the track right from the intro. Slowly escalating with energy, the riser comes up and drives in the hulking drop. It contains fierce electro synth playing out the drop melody and the same percussion intensified to make it more powerful.

In the second part, the kick get away to let the percussion play alongside the drop melody, which again is a nice idea. The breakdown comes in as soon as the drop gets over and the same vocal shout comes up again, with a few claps and percussion again. After an ethnic female vocal sample alongside (most probably Indian), the riser comes in and the drop hits again. This time that part has a different synth, keeping it interesting. My conclusion would be that track has definitely some fresh elements and has done a perfect balance between the exotic tribalistic swing and big room/electro house.
