A brand-new single release from Tyson Swindell and Gerardo Beltran brings out a very unique approach to electronic dance music as it comes through with a Latin flair rhythmically and has edgy synth tones and riffs so that you get a track you can get down with but also one that gives you as much of that edginess as it does color.
"Casio Doom Song" has a sample right at the beginning that says, "you know, if any of you feel compelled to just get up and dance, you can do it".
Quite a brilliant intro to a song that you can't help but shake your body to.
This track is addicting right from the start because it works outside the boundaries of what you may think is normal. It combines elements of genuinely performed keys along with this addictive and flamboyant rhythm that you end up getting pulled right into.
This works so well because of those two attributes coming together.
The synths have bends in their notes at times and almost feel like they are performances you would otherwise hear a trumpet performing over that rhythm.
But instead you have this old school '90s feeling synthesizer tone that is playing these notes and performing these, almost wild yet still somewhat tamed riffs.
The song is driving, and you will want to dance to this track without question. If you're driving in your car, you will have your butt shaking in your seat and if you're at home, you might move the couch back so you can dance around the room with your significant other or just by yourself.
Bringing those two different sounds and even aesthetics together is genius to me because it doesn't sound pushed.
Some of it even gives you the feeling of watching a jazz band perform live and it's almost like it's improvised to an extent.
The energy is there, and that is part of why it's so infectious.
I think it's called "Casio Doom Song" because of the classic and old school synth sound used on the track.
To me, it sounds like the kind of synth you would get on an old school 808 or 303 machine.
This was fun and progressive. It showed some kind of personality somehow.
It's been a while since I've heard an electronic-based track that blended in that Latin beat. You have this almost Samba feeling rhythm along with these synth tones, and it's just something that has a strange way of wrapping itself around you and keeping you there.
There's a sense of freedom to this song. As I mentioned earlier, it's not really confined to a certain box. Now, this track is the first of several to be released from a full EP called We Renounce Everything.
As far as I can tell, this is going to be experimental and slightly rambunctious electronic music that will break certain barriers in terms of what you would expect to hear from the genre.
I think the future of music has a lot to do with blending and bending genres at free will, and this project may be a perfect example of exactly that.
If you are into music that makes you want to get up and move your body, if you love electronic and inventive songwriting, if you love jams that jive, this is for you 100%.
Nothing about this is cookie-cutter, and I have a feeling nothing about the entire EP will be either, so I'm certainly looking forward to that. Scheduled to release on the 1st of April, as far as I can tell, and I can't wait for it.
This whole project is a bit outside the box. It's outside the norm. So when I hear something like that, I look forward to what else is coming.
I already know, just from hearing one single track, to expect the unexpected.
How could I or anyone else not look forward to that?
So, this track just dropped today, and you should put on some headphones, make a little room to dance, and crank it. It's wild, but it's super fun. It's got a charm to it somehow.
Check this song out and see what it does for you.
