King Cosmic returns with a sonic experience that's nothing short of captivating. In his latest single, "Fascinated," he delves into the realms of analog synth mastery, crafting a sound that's both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
The original version is a true analog synth workout that feels a bit like 90s Green Velvet had a baby with an 80s John Carpenter film soundtrack. From the moment the percussion kicks in, you're greeted by a heavy, bouncing bassline that forms the foundation of the ominous groove. The bright, cutting syncopated hi-hats add a layer of rhythmic complexity, setting the stage for what's to come.
At the forefront is a modulated synth lead that weaves its way through the sonic landscape. It's a hypnotic melody that guides the listener on a journey of yearning. King Cosmic's pitched-down and effected spoken words add an enigmatic touch, as if reaching for the sky, yet unable to grasp the object of mesmerization. It's a narrative that unfolds through sound, drawing you deeper into the music's spell.
But that's not all – "Fascinated" offers a fresh perspective with a remix by Audio Soul Project. This version takes the track into the realms of garage house, infusing it with a skippy, lo-fi midrange drum groove that's made for moving. Jumpy filtered synth chords, organ stabs, and dramatic classic house strings create a dynamic sonic tapestry.
Adding to the rhythmic intricacy, female vocal chops are peppered throughout the remix, adding a layer of temporal flavor that keeps the energy flowing. It's a reinvention that brings a new dimension to the mesmerizing tale told by King Cosmic.
"Fascinated" is not just a single; it's a sonic journey through time and space. King Cosmic's ability to merge the classic with the contemporary is a testament to his artistry. Whether you're a fan of the nostalgic sounds of the '90s or a seeker of innovative electronic music, this release is for you.
