Somehow artistically raising the bar further still, and just weeks since the intensely upbeat Despegar crossed our path, creative producer Mek delivers a divinely uplifting new single, in the form of the melodically euphoric and deeply soothing Mi momento.
Coming in at an impressively well-rounded six minutes and twenty seconds, Mi momento begins with a humble world music rhythm and spoken vocal part, before evolving through a completely unexpected but beautifully satisfying and original groove.
We get a classic house rhythm but softly mixed, a breathy female vocal both intimate and guiding, alongside a three-note rising riff, programmed hi-hats, warming bass, and a subtle sense of rising anticipation. If you’re looking for the perfect composition to relax into as you watch the sun set or rise, Mi momento feels like a hidden treasure from the modern scene.
Slowly weaving in additional traits both subtle and effective in broadening the track’s embrace, Mi momento welcomes strokes of synth and string accordingly, but holds close to the naturally appealing fluidity of this already established piece of summer-ready, mellow dance music or trip hop.
Mek brings the structure, attention to detail, creativity and passion to electronic dance music, and from one track to the next, these qualities are elevated by his defiant love for the playful escapism of the process. Mi momento is a timeless beauty, and easy to let fill the space around you as the summer months begin to appear.
