One of the best DnB tracks to emerge this side of 2024, Austrian producer jonnyung brings creative expression and purpose back to the genre, with the crisp jungle stylings and recognisable vocal fragments of get lost.
Brilliantly ambient in between the weight of this upfront drum and bass rhythm, waves of haunting voice-like presence fill the space, while intimate captures of an iconic Alan Watts deliver philosophical sentiments relating to dreaming and power.
This suggestive and fairly intoxicating combination of elements gets the chemistry just right, in my view, but not only this – not only the sheer impact of contrasting layers – there’s something about the clarity and depth of the beat here.
jonnyung has carved this out with precision and passion combined, an attention to detail that feels authentic and original. As we progress, hints of cinematic or sci-fi-like tones further tighten the track’s grip, and all the while the beat rolls on – somehow both calming and energising, depending on what you need from it.
An absolute must hear for electronic music fans past and present. The immersive bar has been reset, and much higher than we could have anticipated.
