It was only last month that we uploaded an article on Mindsight’s neatly produced track ‘Source’, but the up-and-coming German artist is already back with something new for us to check out. His last track carried with it electrifying melodies with some grittier undertones, showcasing some raw talent and an eye on the future.
What strikes me listening to this new track, titled ‘W_’ is how confident Mindsight is in the contrasting territories of both vibrant and uplifted beats, as well as the darker beats which form an undercurrent to more aggressive electronic music.
As the song opens, the sound we’re presented with almost leans towards a soundscape of rough, shifting technology. This sets us on a path with more gravel than that of the previous release, a theme supported throughout the song with harder hitting percussion and a pleasingly gruff beat situated in the deeper levels which has a real animalistic edge to it.
Moving over the top of this are glitch inspired trills and lilts, and although they’re not given space until around a fifth of the way into the song the samples bring in a level of dynamism that provides ‘W_’ with its futuristic edge.
