‘Open Arms’ by MYKROBOY is sublime. The title track offers a cool tone
together with flavourful beats and warm vocals. The piano elements and
sweeping atmosphere draw you in. Second track ‘Horizon’ has a pretty
entrance with the sweet bird songs and oriental strings. There is
dramatic surge of power and the feeling is just indescribable, taking
over your senses entirely. The trio is completed with ‘Deja Vu’ which uses
a light piano melody to entice us, then we are further gripped by the
sensational passion. The clash of cymbals, the rush of excitement and
brilliantly, gleaming joy washing over your soul.
Downplay is proud to present the debut EP from new Manchester
producer MYKROBOY. ‘Open Arms’ is a magical track - equal parts
soothing synths and languorous vocals sprinkled over a robust 2-step
groove, that slowly unfolds into a 4x4 piano roller. It’s the kind of track
that is easy to get lost in - every component compliments the others with
beguiling results.
‘Horizon’ takes you even deeper, rolling beats underpinning a truly
spellbinding journey that is equal parts cinematic and emotive. Garage
tracks like this are rare to come by these days - something that takes the
template and twists it into new shapes.
‘Deja Vu’ rolls out on lush piano keys and sugar sweet vocals with a firing
breakbeat foundation for something totally refreshing, before unfurling
with an orchestral grandiosity that showcases just how versatile this new
artist really is.
