Introducing a high-octane yet pristine debut from Trance and Techno producer MEK – Despegar is an unmistakable melodic dance tune, with a mighty presence that instantly connects.
Rather than more predictably building up from humble beginnings, Despegar explodes into life with a relentless pace and weight inseparable from the peak of trance and techno’s renowned appeal. In mere seconds MEK showcases his intricate ability as a producer, blending the power of tempo and intensity with a clear attention to detail that resounds as the music rains down at volume.
We then proceed through an extensive mix, MEK stripping things back to the bare essentials for the half-way point, highlighting the ambient nuance and essential contrast of effective production, before dropping back in for a melodic EDM surge of euphoric escapism that’s second to none.
Blending those now familiar eighties synths and rhythmic compressors with the timeless energy and floor-filler pace of trance, Despegar is somehow both alternative and mainstream-ready in its fine balancing of noteworthy traits. The drum-line has both power and purpose, the melody is necessary but non-confronting – the sheer rhythmic introduction of the track speaking volumes on behalf of a true fan of the timeless embrace of this genre.
Then our mood elevates with the music – a perfectly timed modern release, gathering intoxicating momentum as the soundscape rolls along; through both dreamy and motivational stages of expression and uplift.
