Stepcat – Dark Skies ft. Kalika
I don’t know where Adapted Records found Stepcat, but I hope there’s more like him at home. This is legit one of the few “new” sounds I’ve heard all year. This isn’t a remix or some random mashup or bootleg. This is genre-busting new stuff that needs your ears right now. While the entire EP is quality and deserving of your time, if you are too ADHD and just need the best of the best, check out ‘Dark Skies’ ft. Kalika.
This is classic swing with a melancholic dubstep twist. The honey-smooth vocals of Kalika carry you through the conceptual mashup of electroswing and wobble. I know it sounds like it should fail hard, but this tune soars. Kalika’s vocal work is matched effortlessly by Stepcat, so when the drop hits, you feel it. I need this on festival speakers. As soon as possible. If you need even more dopeness than you get from the EP, Stepcat’s got you covered. There’s a minimix with even more ElectroSwingStep action. Yea, I know, that’s not a word or a genre…yet.
