For the third release from WhoMadeWho’s wonderfully creative musical outlet, The Moment, we welcome a duo who are no strangers to producing high-quality music – the inimitable Monkey Safari. The German duo have been deeply immersed in sonic creativity for over 20 years and their experience, in the studio, in the booth and on the dance floor, permeates into their shimmering productions.
STREAM: MONKEY SAFARI – OASIS [THE MOMENT]
‘Oasis‘ embodies this outlook and aligns perfectly with what The Moment is all about. There’s a wonderfully whimsical feel to this cut from the outset, with organic-sounding percussion forming the foundations of the arrangement. The rhythm of the drums has a hypnotic appeal, while an extended violin note and the smash of cymbals add an energetic pulse.
When we get into the main body of the track, the title ‘Oasis’ really starts to make sense, as a Middle Eastern-inspired wind instrument produces the main riff. Its impact is invigorating and enchanting, filling the track with a powerful energy. As the instrument shifts into the background, with delays and echoes added, Monkey Safari incorporates additional live-sounding drums.
A short, yet highly impactful breakdown sends us into the final part of this cut with a bang. The wind instrument returns, with its magnetic melody, which switches up towards the end of the track, adding yet more potency to this already incredibly compelling and engaging piece of music… This one will leave your body tingling with the buzz of positive vibrations.
