OM RECORDS Halloween special w/ TONE OF ARC & SHINY OBJECTS in The Lab LA
An OM RECORDS Halloween special promises a certain leftfield elegance, and this Tone of Arc & Shiny Objects back-to-back in The Lab LA delivers a wonderfully hazy, after-hours headtrip. The vibe is cozy and mysterious, like the best kind of house party where the conversation turns deep at 4am. The BPM is a chameleonic 118.9 on average, drifting between keys like 12A and 8A, which places this firmly in the realm of deep, melodic electronica.
The energy profile favors the mid-range at 0.51, giving plenty of space to atmospheric pads and subtle melodies, while the low-end provides a gentle, undulating pulse. This is mixing as storytelling, with long blends and a patient hand. The crate digs are exquisite: the 39-minute epic 'Craig Bratley - Beat On The Drum (Midnight Special Mix)' is an audacious opening, a journey in itself.
'Some1 - Astral Sequence' lives up to its name with cosmic synths, and 'Alexkid - The Dope' is a quirky, infectious groove. 'Manuel Bitsch - Every Other Day' is the perfect comedown, all warm chords and lingering sentiment. The set begins with the expansive, hypnotic journey of 'Craig Bratley - Beat On The Drum', weaves through starry-eyed moments, and finally dissolves into the gentle resolution of 'Manuel Bitsch - Every Other Day'.
