For the first time in music history, it is becoming more and more feasible to bridge creativity with a thorough technical background. With the tools a modern DAW and studio plugins can provide, audio engineers find themselves in a sandbox ready to sculpt a masterpiece. Australian producer/engineer Naderi is no exception to this revolution, handling mix-downs and masters for some of Australia's biggest dance artists while popping out his own tracks on occasion. Today, he flips an intimate R&B song into an epic festival banger, featuring wide supersaws and minor scales in likeness to RL Grime's collaboration with Miguel "Stay For It." What stood out the most in this track was the arrangement, with a melodic build leading into another build with heavily distorted bass shots, providing a refreshing breather from the typical linear progressions seen in dance music. This marks the second time Naderi has played with vocals from THEY. (signed to Zhu's Mind of a Genius Records), hopefully hinting at a potential collaboration in the future.
