In their newest single, "Listen To The Sound," HVRCRFT joins forces with reggae sensation Layne Tadesse to break through the walls of genre and shake up the electronic music community.
Out now on Circus Records, a favorite of dubstep connoisseurs worldwide, this single is a bustling audio bricolage. It fuses the heat of reggae-style vocals with the thrilling impact of festival-ready bass. It's an invitation to feel music with your body as much as your ears.
The production is clear and intentional from the jump. HVRCRFT does not waste time setting the tone, and everything from hi-hat tick to synth swell leads to a massive, stomach-flipping drop. But rather than devolving completely into chaos, the track maintains a tidy groove due in no small part to the smooth voice of Layne Tadesse. Dripping with feel-good island energy, his vocals wrap around the beats like sunlight through the fog.
There are magnetic but straightforward phrases, "Listen to the sound" and "Bassline deep," that serve less like traditional lyrics and more like rhythmic mantras. They're designed to keep you rooted in the track's pulse, and they do their job.
While HVRCRFT has already gained attention with his earlier release on Excision's Subsidia imprint, surpassing 250,000 streams, this collaboration might be a "tipping point" in his soundscape evolution. It's brash, it's bold, and it finds a way to mix electronic intensity with human emotion.
With playlisting and strategic digital marketing in full effect already, "Listen To The Sound" is set to be another summer hit across reggae-electronic crossover playlists and big peak-time bass sets. It's motion, mood, and, most of all, a moment. If you've been looking for that record to level up your next set or shove into your weekend playlist, HVRCRFT and Layne Tadesse gave it to you. Pump up the volume, close your eyes, and listen to the sound.
