More stunning music from tech house extraordinaire GR1FN. Fine craftwork, a strong groove elevated by smoothly mixed vocal layers of soulful, poetic expressions – NERVOUS is catchy, a rare quality in this genre, and meanwhile the beat rolls on; infectious and backed by a melodic techno piano part. Descending chords are simple but striking, and increasingly gear you up to lose yourself in the moment.
Beautifully built, NERVOUS is likable from the outset but only grows to become superb as it gathers momentum and proceeds to introduce a handful of additional, unexpected but fitting changes in dynamic.
Coming in at just under four minutes in full, NERVOUS is artistically free yet well-rooted – distinct but hypnotic, consistent and unpredictable, all at once. GR1FN forever brings something exciting and genuine to the electronic music and house realms, and by all accounts, this feels like the encapsulation of New York night life – gift-wrapped and delivered through the airwaves, to a global audience whom crave precisely this satisfaction and escapism.
