Rownd and Sqware

A new dance track… this one’s my first attempt at a harder electro sound. And yet, I’ve still got a Hammond B3 organ and grand piano in there. Sue me.

In the past I’ve made fun of the abrasive synth noises, but now that I’ve been to a ton of dances I think I understand their place. It’s like how I’ve described profanity in music before: It’s hot sauce. Too much and the meal just becomes unpalatable, but a little here and there adds a nice heat to an otherwise plain dish.

I also have come to the understanding that songs like these are best heard after some warm-up. When I bring this one to a live set, it’ll be after some slower, more melodic pieces have gotten people on the floor and in the right headspace.

Or it’ll clear the dance floor, hell if I know. We’ll find out soon enough.
