Mr. Blasé shares new track with Boskasie titled Anangu Moon
Making his debut on Shimza’s imprint, Kunye, Mr. Blasé came forward with an essential release for all Afro tech and Melodic House music lovers. Titled Anangu Moon, the single features the sultry vocals of South African singer, Boskasie. It also features a remix by none other than Berlin-based wonder producer and Innervisions artist, Aaaron.
“The song came about when I created the instrumental after being inspired by a documentary on the original people of Australia, the Anangu. After hearing the beat, my long-time co-creator, Boskasie, came up with the lyrics.”
Anangu Moon is a rich and harmonically elegant masterpiece. It’s brilliance is encapsulated by arpeggiated synth work, lush and emotive pads and catchy vocal melodies from Boskasie.
“Her lyrics questions the motives of colonialists, who, when arriving on newfoundland, would strip indigenous people of their rights, leaving destruction and bloodshed in their wake. Just like many songs coming out of Africa, and especially South Africa, Anangu Moon is full of history and past pain, but whilst the meaning may be sad, the song is still portrayed in a dance-friendly way… this is how we heal and move forward,” Mr. Blasé says.
Anangu Moon along with its remix and Sagrado are a seamless continuation of Mr. Blasé’s unmatched talent
The second track from the EP is a remix of Anangu Moon by prolific producer, Aaaron. His take on the original reminds the listener of an eighties’s synthwave classic. Aaaron’s skill in the studio is evident throughout this breathtaking remix. He uses haunting chord progressions and a muted percussion line that is felt more than heard, which goes to show an amazing track sometimes requires you to use less in order to truly guide the listener to your true intentions.
Closing off the EP is Mr. Blasé’s attitude adjuster for the release. Sagrado. Big beats, a brooding bass line and soaring pads carry this song from beginning to end, with a persistent synth line, sonically attractive shakers and a melancholic breakdown, rolling all the way to the finish line with style and a sense of depth that Mr. Blasé abbreviates so well.
