75/100
• Hitting follow-up for “Krypton”
• Minimal yet does not slack due to powerful signature sound
• Slightly predictable structure, but compatible for festival nonetheless
This Tuesday was the date for the release of another untamed beast, crafted by none other than the Dutch mastermind Ummet Ozcan. We haven’t had any disappointment so far with this Amsterdam based talent, who continues to expand his fan-base with his renowned anthemic electro sound. And yesterday was a revelation of one of his endeared IDs which he dropped in multiple dance-floors, pumping the crowd to wild levels. Yes, we will be finally talking about the “Omnia”, which garnered attention right from its début and is the second successful release for Ozcan’s newly launched Oz Records.
Three months ago, we were introduced to the new sub-label of Ummet Ozcan with a striking tune called “Krypton”. It signified his return towards the vintage electro/big room roots which gave the artist major breakthroughs. Consisting of tech-inspired arrangement, it gave emphasis on the distorted and dirty saw synths riffing across shuffling components, as the breakdown kept a catchy tone with a simple melody. Intensifying this very melody, it used it for the oncoming drop and kept the tone more rhythmic and harmonized. Our sole reason for mentioning about “Krypton” is because of its similarity to our today’s topic of discussion.
Nonetheless, we did get a fair glimpse of power from Oz’s debut record.
Now talking about the production, it features the predictable schematics of big room house. However, it packs the requisite stamina, starting with percussion laden intro. Transitioning to the next segment, the breakdown materializes with a minimal synth one-note riff, gradually giving space to the saw synths. But, to keep the secondary break engaging, an alluring female vocal snippet complements the slightly delectable version of the familiar melody. The drop hits with the right gusto after both of this, flooding in with energy and festival vibes, delivering even with the generic elements used in the instrumental.
In few words, this song smashes with precision, however, not everyone would appreciate the predictable structure of it. We, as a long time dance music listeners, highly appreciate it without concerns!
