Vlad Lucan – Reverse [Axtone Records]
We know Axtone for their top-level house music, but here’s something a little different from Vlad Lucan and “Reverse”.
Vlad Lucan makes his Axtone debut with this record; the second edition of the label’s “It’s Great” series. The record actually received its first play on BBC Radio 1 from Steve Angello back in September. Producers can grab the stems for free on MixBank and submit their remixes on the platform to go live on Spotify and Apple Music!
“Reverse” brings some super chill vibes right from the start. The piano in the beginning soon breaks out into smooth synths and subtle percussion. The drop brings a bit more intensity, with a strong melody and the perfect amount of bass. Vlad Lucan‘s experience with hip-hop production certainly helps out here, but doesn’t overwhelm the subtleties of the lighter piano top-line. The combination of acoustic bliss with energetic synths makes “Reverse” an essential track.
