Camo & Krooked return to Hospital Records with a freshly cut slice of Red Bull Symphonic exquisiteness, following on from the successes of their collaborative album in 2020 with legendary Austrian composer Christian Kolonovits. Expect an unlikely fusion of two worlds, uniting classical euphoria and heavy duty drum & bass in perfect harmony. This time around you’ll also be able to find otherworldly vocals from Rezar, a Berlin-based musician known for his voice in electronic pop group NIHILS.
Melancholic piano melodies and soothingly sombre vocals introduce the piece, before a powerful ensemble of brass and strings crescendo into an electronic explosion. Signature Camo & Krooked drumwork crafted with utmost precision paves the way for crystal clear synth arpeggios and a driving bassline, while uplifting orchestration wraps the track in emotive swirls and charismatic chord progressions.
The Austrian duo Camo & Krooked have been working their magic within the drum & bass scene for over a decade, and each move they take only gets bigger. As well as teaming up with Christian Kolonovits and Red Bull Symphonic, they’ve also joined forces with fellow titan Mefjus to create a behemoth trio which has released a slew of singles including the Drum&BassArena Awards ‘Best Track’ nominee ‘No Tomorrow (feat. Sophie Lindinger)’, ‘Kallisto’ and ‘Sidewinder’ on Noisia’s Vision Recordings. ‘Other Side (feat. Rezar)’ is yet another stellar production Camo & Krooked can add to their undeniably impressive back catalogue, which is home to dance music hits including ‘Set It Off’ featuring the legendary Jeru The Damaja, ‘Turn Up The Music’, ‘Loving You Is Easy’ and more. Catch them tearing up dancefloors at Hospitality Tallinn, Mayfield Depot and Motion Bristol later this year.
Released October 15, 2021 on Hospital Records.
