Vincent Projects excels at breathing new life into established dance and electronic sounds. He can even be found updating his own sound and reimagining those tracks he created several years ago. Yes, it’s all about keeping things moving forward, maintaining momentum, and writing a new chapter for the future of the dance fraternity.
“Spooky Things,” taken from the album of the same name, is the sound of high-octane dance being tempered, but only slightly, by smarter sonic choices. It still does everything that dance music is designed to do – be infectious, make you want to move, cast a sense of energy and euphoria over the listener – it is just that it does it using a new and forward-thinking sonic palette.
The beats and bass used here are taken from the box marked “Timeless and iconic sounds,” but this familiarity is then wrapped in searing electro-riffs and layered with more ambient outer elements. And then, through all of this, the comfortable and the challenging, he weaves all manner of transient and tantalizing musical motifs and beguiling additions — strange, flitting, and fleeting inclusions that are felt rather than heard — and other cutting-edge creativity.
It’s dance music, sure, but whereas most music in the genre looks over its shoulder for guidance, Vincent Projects makes music that’s all about where things go next.
