Rohaan is one of finest production exports the UK has to offer. In the past few years he’s blessed fans with everything from emotional ballads (‘Keeping Me Close’) to some of the weirdest and most exciting experimental bass bangers (‘Bigfoot,’ ‘Grind’). As an artist never content with staying stagnant, Rohaan is setting his sights on Halftime & DnB domination with his upcoming SATURATE EP Only Carbon. Ahead of the full release we have the pleasure of premiering one of the project’s standout tracks ‘People Don’t Think.’
“So the EP ‘Only Carbon’ is based around an intuitive AI that has become sentient. The outlook it has on the human race is far from positive, it sees us as easily manipulated puppets. Hence the title, ‘People Don’t Think,'” Rohaan tells us.
With the EP being derived from the AI’s perspective, Rohaan pairs mechanical meets organic sounds throughout. ‘People Don’t Think’ is the most stripped down sound on the project but that minimal approach speaks volumes. The space between beats adds a level of intensity, punching every sound up a couple notches. The pounding drums and high pitched vocal bends command you to move your body in a hypnotic, almost possessed state. Each element works to rewire your brain and command you to move to the pattern the AI desires. Don’t think, just let the audio interface take control.
