#61 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

Hot off the heels of her Panoramabar Berlin premiere, Zeynep Erbay returns to Exploited, continuing her efflorescence with Time Comes: a beautiful and joyous ascent that definitively frames an ecstatic state of being. Straight from the get go the track exudes a psychedelic warmth as a humid, swirling pad maps out goosebumps along the listeners spine and delayed vocal blobs flicker and gently fizz. Unapologetic piano chords burst in and gallop in lockstep with a chugging Italo bass line as the mood continues to rush. Palms grow moist and pupils widen as snare fills punctuate progress and eventually a bittersweet vocal pours in carrying the raw emotion of the final moments of a long, transportive rave. This is powerful, confident dance music from an artist well versed in capturing memorable moments - not to be missed!
