82/100

• Lovely orchestral elements
• Good ethnic atmosphere
• Excellent second drop

What happens if a savage guy and a really technical one do a track together? Would it be a banger or a complete mess? None of these. Luckily, we can call it for its name now. And, of course, its name is “Mufasa“.

I think that the two artists involved in this project don’t need presentations. Timmy Trumpet was, is and always will be one of the kings of bounce, while The Golden Army is probably the best orchestral EDM producer right now. Besides that, his past as a sound designer makes him a really versatile and effective producer, a guy that really knows how to squeeze his DAW and plugins to their best.

The Golden Army’s imprint is present since the beginning, starting with an orchestral build up where strings are the protagonists, rising up in a really similar way as they do in his track “Pirates”. After this, a powerful psy-trance drop explodes in your face, having its characteristic bass and some ethnic vocals and sounds, just the expected. Then, the drop ends, giving place to the break, where all the magic starts.

An incredible orchestral introduction leads us into this new part, creating a great atmosphere and hyping us about what’s coming next. At this point, I would recognize that I expected something more. The chord progression is awesome and the ethnic vocal fits well, but the supersaws that start playing here are a bit standard in my opinion, resulting in a predictable and unoriginal part.

Wait a moment, we are missing Timmy, right? Don’t worry, here he is. The break went straight into a second build-up, similar to the first one, and right after that, you know that something crazy is going to happen. And it really does. The bounce artist shows us here that he learned how to make really powerful hard drops, delighting us with tons of screeches and distorted kicks. I must admit that this drop impressed me more than the first one, it works well and it’s a great way of ending the track.

We can say that both artists left their marks in this tune, creating a funny and enjoyable track structure, where you can easily recognize their signature sounds here and there. Maybe it lacks a bit of creativity at some points, but “Mufasa” is, for sure, a really recommended song to listen to.
