DEVAULT is back with his sophomore EP and his lead single, ‘SAPPHIRE,’ that will give you retro feels and a futuristic after taste.
DEVAULT’s latest single ‘SAPPHIRE’ showcases the artist’s unique style; a sort of silky, retro dark-electro. Through his nods to classic rhythms and synth, the foundation of electro, he demonstrates commitment to both riding the cutting edge of electronic music and pushing it further over the precipice of the future.
The atmosphere of ‘SAPPHIRE’ simmers with slinking synths, twinkling lasers, and heavy handed bass. The bright rhythm is driven by lustrous, booming chords that churn up the tension through each break and build up. DEVAULT has crafted a track that feels like the beginning of an epic Sci-Fi flick, as if he is setting the a scene of an impending merger of man, machines, and music. There’s also a delicious groove that DEVAULT settles into after each drop that’s irresistibly fresh to flow to but has an emotional warmth that feels welcoming, almost homey. It is a paradoxical and sophisticated type of sound, one that marries traditional electronic with contemporary technique, and charts a course into the depths of new discoveries.
