It’s been a week already, but traces of the spooky Halloween atmosphere are still spinning strong all around SoundCloud. Our long time favourites, Stööki Sound, joined the fray too and they’ve made it in the most explicit way possible. I’m not an expert, but when I see a track called ‘Bob Gray’, I know something scary is coming.
The British duo went in with a production that has its core in dark, minimalistic bass territory but spaces itself apart from the majority of the Halloween-dedicated competitors thanks to the variety of influences and different elements incorporated. The wise use of plenty of different samples help to effectively create a certain kind of atmosphere. For example, the iconic Pennywise laugh adds a considerable creepy touch to the composition while the strings that greet you from the very start infuse a strange, sinister calm. The way every element is arranged hints to TroyBoi’s style, not by chance, a master in the sampling art.
Be sure to check out ‘Bob Gray’ below, cause it’s definitely not just a Halloween treat, but something that can impact on the dance floors all year long. Don’t forget to grab the free download.
