Keeping it local, Balance Music welcomes fellow Australian Sam Hopgood to the fold with two exquisite cuts of emotional electronic music.
For the last three years, Sam’s profile in the underground electronic music scene has been steadily on the rise. With a string of releases on some of the of the world’s most sought after labels, such as The Soundgarden, Selador, and Particles amongst other quality imprints…
Blurring the boundaries between melody, groove and sound design, Sam Hopgood’s music weaves through genres creating spellbinding and intricate worlds for the listener.
‘History‘ is bolstered with a confident, no-nonsense rhythm that feels purposeful. A compelling melody builds towards the breakdown, where it hooks you not through flashy effects but rather simplistic elegance. This is effective tech for educated dancefloors.
The dominant track of the pair, the tempo has increased a tad on ‘Oceans‘ heralding the start of something more energetic. Accentuated with shimmering melodies, the bass is a growling monster that creates movement through modulation. As its name suggests, ‘Oceans‘ feels massive without losing emotion.
With a string of releases and remixes in the pipeline, Sam Hopgood continues to produce forward thinking, dynamic, and exciting dance music.
