HolyU – Afternoon With Pains

Mau5trap protégé HolyU has been bubbling along in the underground for a few years now on the back of a string of beautiful releases that delve into a variety of sub-genres of electronic music to fuse his own signature sound that has rightly developed a buzz amongst those that recognise class when they hear it. Pushing into 2020 with a fresh energy and single, HolyU has partnered up with the Eternal Nights imprint for a release that shines a bright light over this imposing Producer’s undeniable talent.

‘Afternoon With Pains’ delves into the cerebral and meditative corners of Electronica with a flurry of shuffling percussive elements and deep and melodic bass pulses that evoke reminiscences from the likes of Moderat, Jon Hopkins and similar prominent masters of the melodic Electronica world. The frontal bass is outrageously pumped via a sidechain style cut on the kicks which although completely drastic and intense – never sounds overworked or too much. The sound is the heartbeat of the production and holds together the timing when the rhythmic and other sections get leftfield and wilder in structure. Flashes of FX, cadenced backing pads and subtle secondary drones fill the stereo field to create a width to contrast the ultra-central bass thuds and the whole thing comes together – unified under one path in a precisely controlled dance of electronic goodness that is not easy to execute. The backing layers twist between euphoric and more reflective minor chords and melodic content, creating that beautiful dissonance between positivity and something more brooding. This is smart production work, something that the Producer calls organic and underground, which are no doubt the best adjectives to describe what he is doing here.

This refreshing single release continues a trend for HolyU as he once again shows that he’s not just technically a production wizard, but also has the deep creative pockets that are required to output work that sounds this good.

‘Afternoon With Pains’ is out now on Eternal Nights and is available on all good digital music stores.
