Barkin makes his official debut release ‘Feels Like.’ Releasing Friday, May 20th on Liftoff Recordings, ‘Feels Like’ is a blend of Bass and Electro House.
The track will take you on a journey with a dark tone set right off the bat. Washed-out vocals give your ears all they can handle before the beat kicks in. As energy begins to rise with FX galore, one last drum fill hits before a massive bass takes hold of the track. Crunchy drums cut through the mix while reverberated sirens provide spatial awareness. The groove is electric and layers continue to unfold as the drop progresses.
Barkin enjoys his dynamics. He is a sucker for dreamy and Deep Bridges before kicking off the second drop. This track holds true allowing the listener to take a break from the action. The second drop switches things up with a more funky bass groove. Panning bass hits give the ears all the candy they need. The intensity continues to increase before the record comes to a close.
“I am so excited for my debut track ‘Feels Like.’ I have been working diligently over the last two years to create my sound and this is the perfect track to show it off. I love the energy it brings and I feel like (pun intended) the drop is a surprise in a way. I have always enjoyed making tracks that bring the unexpected. ‘Feels Like’ does this while bringing the heat.”
