Budding producer Kaivon Simab has had an electrifying impact on the scene since his debut just over a year ago. Through a bolstering arsenal of solo single releases, Kaivon reinterprets his own journey of rebirth, losing his true self and finding it once again through production. His music is aimed to serve as a hopeful reminder and guiding light to those that may feel lost in their own goals.
Kaivon‘s sound design demonstrates almost unfathomable attention to detail and powerful, emotion-filled synths that wash over you completely. His latest single, and debut release on Dim Mak Records discovery imprint, titled ‘77‘ features sublime vocals courtesy of Kini Solana and a crushing palette of synths that hold true to Kaivon’s emotion-fueled style.
A tame wind chime leads into an affectionate vocal lead, setting a hopeful stage for a simple piano melody and tender clapping rhythm. As a low pattern of grandiose horns joins the chorus, the vocals fade out into a quick, high-energy buildup before returning seamlessly into the drop. An assortment of Kaivon’s coveted rich synths engulf you as a hopeful siren beckons in the distance. Perfectly timed breaks provide just enough contrast within the drop, while a pounding bass drum maintains a steady flow of energy. The vocals return, accompanied by an upbeat melody of keys, which transforms into the familiar rhythm of low horns leading into the second drop. Holding nothing back, the full force of the synths erupts at the second drop, beautifully coupling emotion and staggering energy.
There is not a shred of doubt in my mind that Kaivon will be a household name in the EDM scene in the coming years, his vision to express his innermost struggles in a positive and uplifting way through his music is something that I truly haven’t seen before. Be sure to keep an eye on him as he continues to grow and develop his sound.
