With a hometown such as Perth, Australia prevision for an inexplicable production talent soars with latest to poke his head from the land down under CALIBR. Having thoroughly demonstrated an eye for innovation with a rework of Kuren’s ‘This Still Hurts’ early on his career, it comes as no real surprise that his latest interpretation of ‘Gemini’ by What So Not would set the bar even higher.
Released nearly 4 years ago at a time when the trap genre was still in its beginnings, ‘Gemini’ provided a beacon of hope that a more melodic side of the genre can just as easily coexist with the emphasis on production that gives the genre its individuality. A song that has received such overwhelming recognition, an opportunity for a fresh face to lace modern potency presents an invigorating future for a track the community has grown to love wholeheartedly.
The slightest production intricacies and light percussion present exquisite enrichment to the nostalgic introduction to the track. As the melody reaches its second loop, pulsating energy craftily builds into an electrifying riser, which brings the track to a peak, launching into a cascade of obscure echoing synths and the tantalizing angelic harmony courtesy of George Maple.
Expertly implementing the most crucial features of the original, while providing an unmistakable dark, ominous energy through his own brilliance, CALIBR breathes new life into a What So Not classic.
