Neon Diffraction, the drum & bass alias of UK producer Ru Goddard, is based in London. The track opens up with a rather 80s rock tune sound, perhaps something you'd feel like was scored for a blockbuster movie. What it does is it builds the track up right before the drum kick comes in at the 20-second mark, and at that point, you can really feel the blend of genres.
... a bold, genre-blending debut that fuses rock and drum & bass into a cinematic late-night rush.
The high-octane German bass percussion is mixed perfectly with this clean rock tune, and as soon as the vocals come in, it reminds me a lot of the Black Keys in places, with its somewhat Americana vibe to it. For me, if you said that I would be enjoying a track that's blended of those three genres together, I would be very confused at first, but since this track has been released, we've given it a good few plays.
It sounds like something that is soundtracked for your late nights, for your study sessions. It's brilliant, it's frantic, and we were in love way before the halfway point. Considering this is a debut release from Neon Diffraction, we feel like this is going to be the start of a great adventure for this rising artist.
