PEEKABOO and Dirt Monkey have quite a few things in common. Likely due to their unique yet still somewhat similar styles, the two producers have both released tracks on big labels such as Wakaan and Deadbeats, while also locking down high-profile collaborations with Bassnectar. With the latter having remixed the former’s ‘Babatunde,’ it was only a matter of time until these two masters of wonk came together on an original work, and we can finally say that this dream has become a reality today.
Out now on Wakaan, ‘Colossal’ certainly lives it up its name, and the artwork only adds to the punch. The introduction is set in the depths of the jungle where the monumental ape resides, with distant yet approaching stomps hinting at the beast’s impending arrival. Minimal yet foreboding, the introduction speaks volumes to PEEKABOO and Dirt Monkey’s ability to captivate your attention. As the track soon reaches its apex, the influence of both producers quickly comes to light in the most wonk-tastic way imaginable. PEEKABOO’s freeform signature and Dirt Monkey’s wobbly synths come together to form a monstrous track, certain to be played out at all of the big festivals that 2019 still has in store. Don’t miss ‘Colossal’ below!
