Following on from two highly regarded releases on Last Year At Marienbad, Amsterdam-based producer Retromigration makes his debut on the launch of a new Oathcreations imprint “KARAMÜRSELLİ” with ‘Can’t Go’, a hyper-kinetic and rapturous piece of dance music that unleashes a spellbinding spirit which is sure to ensnare any dancefloor.
Amsterdam-based Retromigration has made the notion of making waves feel like a standard whenever a new record of his floats into view, such is the reverence and respect for his sound and craft. Inspired by a myriad of genres, such as soul, funk, jazz, and hip-hop, his auditory identity is one of profound melodic effusion and expert percussive sequences, which are absorbed within life-affirming atmospheres and sensory spaces. Flickering within the wide spectrum of deep house, Retromigration’s music dabbles with the curious in-between spaces, with an acute eye and ear channeling into the threads between genres that enable light bulb moments – and ever lasting musical experiences.
In a career built on continual self-evolution and musical morphology, ‘Can’t Go’ feels like yet another landmark in Retromigration’s revered career. The EP tunes itself into the pulsating energies of the club, drawing exquisite lines between bass music, footwork, garage and jungle.
Next up is the Siu Mata and Amor Satyr remix of ‘Cant Go’. Their take centres itself on rhythmic palpitations and hard groove, drawing focus to cavernous spaces and placing the vocals in a place of prominence right from the off. A fitting flip to the original, and as a rounding off of the experience, it hits the mark expertly.
