BUDD – Highline
BUDD is back on Deadmau5‘s imprint, Mau5trap, with a release titled ‘Highline‘. The track seamlessly transitions from the muffled intro into an acidic bass and prevalent melody. Following through, a pad intensifies along with the added arpeggio furthering the momentum of the track. ‘Highline’ then bursts into a bright and stab-sounding pluck controlling both groove and melody. It progresses through adding elements and stacking them eloquently throughout the sections of the track. It clearly draws inspirations from 80’s sounds and synth-wave nodding to them in an opportune fashion. The song is surely to keep you dancing for a while.
BUDD previously released music on Mau5trap including his collaboration with Bluum entitled ‘Square One‘. This was featured on the We Are Friends 008 compilation. Above that, his tracks ‘Epique’ and ‘Triangular’ remained on my playlist since their release date. Finally, if you would like to further discover his sound, you can check out his guest mix on ‘For Lack Of A Better Radio‘.
