Froxic - Blend Modes [Plasmapool]

This is some of the most uplifting lower bpm electronic music I've heard in a long time, coming out of the Netherlands from Froxic. I had caught a glimpse of this track a little while back, and absolutely loved it - this is definitely my standout track from his upcoming Fade EP on Plasmapool. The synths and breakdowns are so melodic and just give an overall feel-good vibe to the entire track, all alongside the energy injection from the percussion elements.

If you're looking for something that goes hard the whole way through, you may want to look at some of the other tracks from the EP, but if you want a song that really has some progression throughout, Blend Modes is your track. The initial build doesn't even drop until 1:15 into the track, and only gives a taste before dropping into an extended breakdown and melodic buildup. When that second drop comes, you have an idea of what to expect, but it still hits really nicely. My first listen had me saying wow and going straight back for another listen, and I hope it has the same effect for any of you listening.

You can stream the other 3 tracks on from the Fade EP on Froxic's Soundcloud page, with the full EP due out on Monday May 25th on Plasmapool. Support the release and pick it up from Beatport.
