Dropping his debut single on A Tribe Called Kotori next is Vienna’s Stefan Obermaier with the lush and dreamy rolling house number, ‚Cala‘.
While Stefan’s been on our radar for a while, we’re now psyched to welcome him to the fold with two cuts that ooze a perfect balance of dreamy escapism and deep, dance-floor-ready uplift. Built around a 6/8 rhythm, delivering both momentum and spaciousness at once, the lead-single, ‚Cala‘ beckons us onto a path of sonic elation whilst keeping us grounded throughout the trip somehow. Inspired by the kaleidoscopic beauty of life and voyage, Obermaier treats us to finely arranged slices of layered, meditative electronics and spiral-like sound architectonics.
Whereas ‚Cala‘ serves up a slower, more straightforward kind of groove, larded with ovoid arpeggios and low-slung bass mechanisms, the second track — ‚Siente‘ — amps up the metronomic swing and subtle yet addictive bass drive to hypnotic effect, emphasizing its luminescent glow and chiselled orchestration with every bar, as dancers are invited to give in to a smorgasbord of feelgood, oneiric vibrations.
Shine bright material all the way.
