It is as if heaven and earth collide, and we’re caught up in this unfamiliar cosmos that is quite intriguing. The music is nothing like you have experienced before as established music producer mentalEscape who benefits from his incredible experience on the job, takes us on this memorable ride with this new project dubbed “Upgrade.” It is the sort of album that caters for the needs of everyone—no matter what you prefer; the irrepressibly energetic roof-shattering bangers, traditional-inspired dance jams, as well as atmospheric and cinematic tunes. This album has got you covered!
“Pasha’s Night Out” embodies traditional with a global EDM outlook for that grand impact. The sweeping melodies, soaring woodwind line, and other traditional percussion elements weaving through layers of electronic textures provide both a sense of mystery and depth that marries beautifully with the thumping, heart-pounding beats typical of EDM. The traditional Indian-like influences add that exotic flair to a track that you just want to listen to over and over again.
“Keep Going” is thunderous from the word go. The thumping basslines, emphatic hi-hats, trap-fueled 808s, pumping synths, and ebullient drums make it not just a song but an invitation to abandon restraint, embrace the chaos, and turn the energy up to its absolute maximum. In the ever-evolving electronic landscape where sonic consanguinity is allowed, this track is a masterclass in drum & bass, techno, trance, trap, and dubstep innovation.
“Os and 1s” is another dance-staple for those who like to let the energy roam as they move to the beat, like tomorrow is not promised. This thumping banger with some epic drops and exuberant buildups is the stuff of sonic cinema, as mentalEscape gives a listener something to come back to thanks to its inflated energy, cranky vocals, and certified execution.
“Night Drive” is the type of dynamic jam that is best suited for those long, late-night drives under the mysterious gaze of the night sky where quietude prevails and the thoughts are allowed a rare moment of pensiveness. With this banging jam with an alluring blend of rhythm and melody as your accompaniment, you would wish for nothing more!
This is just a taste of what the entire “Upgrade” offers as mentalEscape goes above and beyond to transport you back in time with some handcrafted music painted with a tapestry of energy, freedom, atmosphere, and cinema. Savor!
