Grant Bowtie - Clockwork - Song of the Day - 5/8/2015

Grant Bowtie, an electronic producer living and working out of San Diego, California, brings us on a journey with this high- energy progressive electro track, "Clockwork." This track is the latest publication on his Soundcloud, having been released last November. Grant Bowtie is a signed artist of the Canadian label Monstercat, along with the notorious likes of producers such as Pegboard Nerds, San Holo, and Case and Point.
This particular track is one for the books - it's ethereal melodies mixed with lively and powerful chords makes for a fantastic, aesthetic experience. However, it seems like most if not all of his work does this. I admired him from the first time I heard "Facets," which was released in March of last year, as well as his other breathtaking track "LED."

I am hoping he is currently working on a project that will be released soon, because he is just too good for the long wait.

Case & Point - "Savage"

The word "Savage" brings a lot to mind but what is it to be savage? Primitive, uncivilized, fierce, violent, all words representing what some might find a negative thing, are actually showing the incomparable qualities of the song Case & Point has brought upon us. Although, to most, savage may come off giving someone indifferent feelings but we have been shown that savage can be found in the beauty of many things. Listen to the "Savage" through the ears of Case & Point and decide for yourself what this word will mean to you.

Au5 & Fractal - "Secret Weapon" EP

Baltimore based producer, Fractal, and New Jersey native, Au5, teamed up to bring us a the 4 track EP, Secret Weapon. The EP starts off with "Blue", a hard hitting drumstep (Drum & Bass meets Dubstep) that masterfully utilized oscillators and synths to maintain a beautiful rythm throughout the composition that perfectly segues into the dirty bass. The EP then transitions into "Dreaming" which utilizes delicate vocals and simple bells behind a bass-line that will get you grooving. This tranquility is lost at the 2:00 mark when some pounding, high energy, glitch influenced house bass comes in. Third up is the title track of the EP, "Secret Weapon." Initially the song is pretty melodic but that is quickly lost into some hardcore rumbling dubstep bass and laser sounding synths. The song utilizes some progressive and trance elements in the middle break that is paired with the dubstep in a way not utilized often, which makes this a unique and powerful track. The track "Smoke" brings us home closing out the EP. The deep house initiation is paired with synths that climb in octave until the powerful glitch-laden electro-house drop. This is definitely my favorite track on this EP.   Production was surely not on the back-burner for this duo while slaving away in the lab creating this monster of a release that perfectly displays the talents of these two rising stars. The EP is out now on Monstercat.
