Layton Giordani – Freaks At Night [Drumcode]
Layton Giordani continues his rich vein of outstanding form with ‘Freaks at Night’. The Drumcode star has been delightfully scribbling outside the lines in recent times, showing his sonic breadth and impressive sound design skills in the process. From ‘Thrillseeker’, the “B-side” of last year’s ‘Phantom’ EP which touched on trap, dubstep and hip hop, to the recent remix of Sharam’s ‘P.A.T.T.’ he crafted with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet, which broadened his production palette and became his first Beatport overall no.1 in the process.
‘Freaks at Night’ continues his adventures in sound. Unmistakably a peak-time record, the track still manages to traverse a rich ethereal energy, highlighted by an otherworldly synth line and striking vocal that sets it apart from so many. Teased in sets by Giordani and Beyer going back to last summer, this one’s hugely anticipated.
