PREMIERE: Jannis Brinkmann And Naldoe - Dusk 28 (Robin Schellenberg Remix) [Mango Alley]

Kaleidoscopic colours radiate across Frankfurt skyline; “Dusk 28” opens a world of possibilities for Jannis Brinkmann & Arnaldov. Shimmering synth lines blink in stratified layers of sound that bleed into each other like the evening sky. A stream of consciousness pours out in cadenced vocal, that lilts gently into the night air.

‘Dusk’ takes on a new character over the distinctive features of Berlin. An innovative sonic architecture is revealed as sun makes way for moon via the sounds of Robin Schellenberg. Familiar melodic tropes emerge in the gloaming before radiating outward in new warm shades. Ice cool refrains cascade across a new landscape as Chook creates a dark soundscape that beckons the darkness while chopped vocals and new melodies drive relentlessly forward alongside a menacing analogue bassline. A vivid image of London is seared in the mind’s eye; a glorious ‘Dusk’ courtesy of Nichols creates a thickly textured sonic palette. A deep and resonant bass drives syncopated rhythms that pound a rolling groove, the heartbeat of bustling city as day turns to night.

I see colours in the moonlight ride away into the sunset.
