Moonkin & Dense 'Wave Soaring' Review






Artist:

Moonkin & Dense


Title:

Wave Soaring


Label:

Synchronos Recordings


Released:

20th April








This release is a collaboration between up-and-coming Swedish artist Moonkin and the long established Dense from Germany. Advertised as psy-chill that covers melodic ambient tunes and well paced groovy beats.


I found this release as a whole something that is very easy to switch off too. Deep ambient synths with twitches of tones that flicker through the tracks, on occasion there’s a touch of guitar. A couple of tracks ‘Birds Eye View’ and ‘Starboard’ take the two-step approach in places. However, this is definitely leaning more towards chill out than out and out drum and bass.


While ‘Mermaid’s Call’ which as the title suggests features some vocal tones. I felt the overall vibe harps back to the beach bar sounds of Cafe Del Mar, with bird song, melodic flutes and guitar that lift off the slow paced drum patterns behind the piece. This for me is the stand out track and quite different to the rest of the release.
