Brazilian producer Marcioz first caught my attention last year with his track ‘Ayre for Rejection’. He combined innocent beauty with blatant energy in a way that nobody had ever done it before, and followed that up with a versatile four-track EP on bitbird before remixing San Holo’s ‘One Thing’. After a six-month hiatus, the talented producer is back and stronger than ever with a new single titled ‘INTERSTELLAR!’ featuring soothing vocals from Slow Shudder.
‘INTERSTELLAR!’ is a perfect embodiment of Marcioz as an artist. He takes familiar sounds and ties them together to create an experimental masterpiece. The introduction is riddled with old-school alien-inspired samples staying true to the song’s title, but he grounds this celestial soundscape with Slow Shudder’s comforting vocals. In a typical Marcioz fashion, a brief pause leaves the melodic introduction behind and cuts into a battery of glitchy stabs and powerful synths before returning to a calm ambiance in a matter of seconds. This theme is repeated in the second half of the track with more energy and emotion than the first, with elements of jazz added for an extra punch.
Marcioz is an artist that has to be on your radar. Check out ‘INTERSTELLAR!’ below.
