A new single release from iokloo delivers a refreshingly vast tonality that subtly but surely grows into a more driving but still atmospheric house and dance-pop approach and the entire thing comes with as much color as it does edginess which gives it plenty of character and insanely danceable rhythm.
"Deep Into the Night" is the type of track that sneaks up on you because at first you get that vast and expansive atmosphere, so you get a taste of what's to come but then, the sense and beats come in giving it that new and more driving approach. I love this style of arrangement and progression because even when the full beat comes in and new synths and keys start blending into the song, you still have that ambient underbelly throughout the entire thing.
That's important because that's a huge part of the aesthetic of the track. That sort of dreamy and flowing approach that makes you feel like you can float right alongside it.
I think the choice of synth sounds really makes this work because there are so many beautiful textures that end up layering atop each other making this such a lush atmosphere that you find yourself in a trance.
The fun thing about this is that once you're in this atmosphere, you don't really want to leave because you were pulled away from your surroundings and put into a completely different place altogether.
This track does indeed serve as a bit of an escape from your normal day-to-day routine and I love that because I need it.
I feel like certain kinds of music are meant for that and this is one of them.
I am most certainly hearing a cross of old and new school influences here in terms of the vintage dance pop soundscapes, classic pop, old school house, and all-new refreshing sounds as well and that combination is part of what makes this unique.
The track is done with Ketevan as a featured artist and I think this was a match made in heaven because the textures that they bring together really make this something special.
By the time the song is over you have to react to meet yourself back to reality again and this to me is such a gift.
As you listen to the song unfold, some parts of your imagination begin to take place.
In a way, listening to this track is like reading a chapter and a good book for example. You have some drive, you have the situation and the environment, and then you have elements that your imagination can fill.
Because of that, each listener will take this song a bit differently.
For me, I ended up having certain kinds of memories pop into my head and for someone else, it might be completely different.
This is part of the beauty of music in general but also this kind of songwriting leaves that great space for you to let your mind run away with it and I feel like that's part of the escape.
This was a robust, charismatic, colorful but edgy, expansive but punchy single that took a vintage and futuristic set of sounds, put them together, and made something that breeds its own vibe.
I would suggest listening to this track with headphones on so that you can soak in everything you were meant to.
They're notes that float around through the ether of the song and doing it with headphones really lets you kick back and drift with it.
This is a song that has a way of swimming around in the air that surrounds you and it's best done without interruption.
Dive into this one and see how it affects you.
