Allow me to put this album into perspective with the 2nd track, “Keep Going.” It is an explosive, adrenaline-pumping banger that detonates from the very first beat…like it couldn’t wait to be unleashed! Celebrated music producer mentalEscape puts in the gear, immersing you in a sonic whirlwind of booming basslines, rapid-fire hi-hats, and chest-rattling 808s. If I were to make a succinct speech regarding this jam, then I’d say that it is a masterclass in controlled chaos, weaving together elements of trap, trance, techno, dubstep, and hardstyle, with the iconic shadowy vocals slithering in the background acting as the perfect ignition to this sonic bombshell.
Worry not, because all the energy was not exhausted here. He still had some left for another thriller dubbed “Os and 1s,” another seismic track that slams you with unrelenting force, making it impossible to stand still. Every second of this track has been engineered to make you lose yourself in the moment—whether you’re in a packed festival crowd, in the middle of a late-night rave, or just looking for a soundtrack to unleash your wild side. Simply put, it is a pulse-quickening, roof-raising, party-starting jam that transcends boundaries, leaving no room for calm.
If you thought that dancing feeling couldn’t get any better, then you probably haven’t interacted with the jam “Pasha’s Night Out,” a traditional-fueled tune with the exquisite Bollywood-Indian percussive influences that amalgamate beautifully with the electronic beats, conjuring up a celebratory masterpiece that is as captivating as it is engaging.
Another jam I couldn’t keep my hands off was “Night Drive,” an alluring banger that is reflective of its title. Its striking flavors of synths, bass, drums, and other signature EDM components go well in that state of solitude, with this booming music as your only accompaniment on a slithering long road under the roof of a chill and quiet night.
There is this and so much more as mentalEscape offers the hard-hitting, cinematic, ambient, and atmospheric beats, catering to the needs of various electronic music fanatics.
