Coming through with their third release in just over a week is sfam with ‘slide.’ The New Orleans based duo has been taking the scene by storm with a constant stream of impeccable releases. Their sound embodies the simplicity and minimalist approach that helped make trap so universally loved in its early days. But don’t think that means their sound is dated. Quite the opposite, they pair this less-is-more approach with incredible sound design and a futuristic bounce that pushes the boundaries of bass music. The end result is experimental and exciting with a familiar foundation.
Their latest release ‘slide’ doesn’t stray from this model. The simple name gives you a taste of what to expect, “we just came to the conclusion that the lead sounds like it’s going down a slide,” sfam explain. As you slip your way through this one it gets deeper and more menacing. It’s a downward spiral that keeps gaining momentum while getting darker. When it opens up, it does so with a bang. Lighters spark while deep grunts and high “heys” and scattered throughout giving it an OG trap feel. These elements are paired with a dizzying dash of deep bass and some serious wonked out bounce. When crafting this record sfam said they, “were going for a nice, deep, bouncy rhythm to wook out too.” They’ve definitely crafted a track that is nice, deep and bouncy, wooking out is up to you.
