Harnessing the power of music to transport its audience, artist and producer Black Majestic based in east of England creates this exhilarating and auditory experience that defies expectation, taking cue from the kind of underground music he grew up listening to, giving it his own signature stamp and skill to allow it that contemporary allure. With his debut release dubbed “Time,” he wanted to create something cheerful and more in the present but with his sophomore release, “Underground Resident,” he harkens back to his roots, majorly inspired by hip-hop and UK garage group So Solid Crew and the duo Oxide & Neutrino for a project that is as nostalgic as it is dynamic; capturing the essence of underground music with a more palpable touch for anyone who wasn’t around at the time.
You will absolutely dig in those driving rock vibes thanks to the garage influences as Black Majestic seamlessly blends some striking riffs, bass, punchy drums, and other quintessential dynamic instruments with electronic influences for something that is far beyond your imagination.
“Riders ‘n’ thugs” gets us going as Black Majestic melds synth pop and rap together with that electronic influence, creating this high-energy, upbeat, dynamic, and synthetic soundscape that is hauntingly alluring and hits all the right nerves!
“Inside Out” features some driving melodies and striking basslines and feels like the perfect theme soundtrack for a movie like the “Dark Knight.” “From the South” is a thriller, offering escapism with its hair-raising components that benefit from excellent sound design and execution.
“Blood & Tears” starts off contemplatively before the emotions are raised, taking a listener on this introspectively deep and somber journey that is immersive and quite honestly unforgettable. The way he captures that dark mood is a testament to his impressive production skill sets.
“DJ Enemies” is the kind of jam you play to set up that party mood. At its core, it has an irresistible underground hip-hop vibe that is haunting and beautiful, well-realized as each and every component here works closely together for one cohesive masterpiece that has replay value. The track’s nostalgia is palpable and it still makes you want to bump your head and groove to the rhythm.
“Imagine That” is perfectly designed for those fire mosh pits concerts as you move with joyful abandon under the blanket of a bright star-lit night, the music hitting in perfect tandem with the accompanying drinks…this is just pure vibes on end!
Picture a neon-lit nightclub somewhere as the electronic and synth-peppered music takes over, its digital-inspired waves dripping marvelously, just like the innovator envisioned them to. That’s exactly the kind of feeling the last jam “More Cocktail” exudes. It is the perfect party banger to get everyone on their feet and dancing with carefree abandon as the pulsating beats and synths complement the party mood on an otherwise endlessly fun night.
A total of 16 incredibly created jams, “Underground Resident” is another exceptional addition to Black Majestic’s impressively expanding catalog.
