Creative peaks tend to bring innovation and familiarity in perfect balance, achieving something fresh, while continuing to access the parts of us that crave repetition, nostalgia, and satisfaction.
With this imaginative EDM release, producer B Kas effectively invents a brand new genre of electronic music, blending the dirty or warped bass and beat combos of dubstep, with an ambient and colourful lightness that’s brief yet perfectly suited to the summer season.
Upstep is merely one-thirty-eight in length, but its soulful introduction, the subsequent hip hop adlibs, these euphoric waves of synths, and the darker aspects of the drumline, all make sure to create something exciting and new.
Upstep is easily recognisable, bringing a touch of something reggae-like during its final third, and the attention to detail is purposeful, well executed, but also in keeping with the lightness of the mood. The structure is on point, the music gathers clear momentum, the vibe is floaty but uplifting, as promised, and the track connects for its humanity, while energizing for its intensity and sonic depth.
B Kas approaches this from experience and passion combined, so the skill is there, the understanding, and the music breaks boundaries with a creative vibrancy that’s exhilarating.
