As the months have rolled by, it has been clarified that the sub-label of Spinnin Recordings, Dharma, has satisfied it’s exponentially growing fan-base with myriads of splendid records. With striking releases from the label boss KSHMR himself, the label has also equally focused on promoting new talents from around the world. Today, we will be concerned with two names, one unfamiliar and the other, a renowned talent from the land of Russia. As many of you may have guessed already, its none other than the mighty Dropgun themselves. And specifically today, we will be talking about their latest genuine production “Uluwatu”. They have also joined forces with the uprising Aussie talent Jesse Wilde.
Few months ago, we at EDM Reviewer were very fortunate to have a fruitful tête-à-tête with Dropgun. They spoke to us about various topics like touring, creativity and last but not the least, their future plans. Shortly after the interview, they unveiled another enchanting and rhythmic work with Breathe Carolina, titled “Sweet Dreams“. The variety delivered by the pair is quite impressive. But before we analyse the track, we have another name. Jesse Wilde currently resides in the islands of Philippines. His previous release was an energetic psy-trance song, named “Mantra“. Even though this collaboration comes as unexpected, the result of their joint work is definitely imposing!
Initiating with an atmospheric and ethnic tone, the breakdown brims with sumptuous synth pads and compliments the unique and ethnic vocals. Percussions also play their role, enhancing the feels. But this is followed by the riser, which then swaps in the hulking drop segment. Busting in with solid triplet bassline, the drop also relies on the gated vocal. But this is not the only version played, as the second breakdown leads to another raw and aggressive hardstyle drop. Keeping the same components, the finale amps up the stamina and viciousness. While people may mention that this track follows schematics similar to Dropgun’s “Krishna“, it is still vibrant and unusual nonetheless.
Surpassing our anticipations, “Uluwatu” refreshes the ears with variations and simultaneously sets itself apart from the standard.
