Singapore-based Perk Pietrek is back with yet another banger. ‘Ivy’ sees the talented producer connecting with Swan for an original that is both beautiful and deadly. “’Ivy’ is actually referring to poison ivy. I’ve been living a city life in Singapore for my whole life so I’ve always been fascinated by nature, about how beautiful yet deadly it can be. Kind of like the two extreme points that have found the perfect existence harmony. This is what the entire Flowers EP is about, so ‘Ivy’ falls into that space,” Perk states about the songs inspiration. Perfectly embodying this theme, the track finds a contrast between beautiful breaks and deadly drops. A hypnotizing melody and alluring vocal loop pulls you in. Once you get close, you’re hit over the head with wild drops that are punctuated and animated with perfectly placed samples. Breathy vocals add a layer of depth and emotion in the midst of the breakdown before they ramp us up for another skull-splitting section.
‘Ivy’ comes off of Perk Pietrek’s new Flowers EP which is out on Quality Goods Records today. Steam ‘Ivy’ and the full project below.
