Undiscovered, the new work by Waxlife and Echosoul, is an hybrid that combines natural elements with different timbres, apparently very distant from each other:
Synthesizers, generally used in progressive house and trance, are wisely mixed together over a minimal beat, with a strong reference to afro and balearic music.
The guitar (classical, played by master Goglio – either with fingers or with a special stone plectrum) is interwoven with synthesis electronic sounds and with the “machines”. It enriches the melody with virtuosity linked to the flamenco, gypsy and Latin American sound.
The addition of a soundscape characterized by the sound of waves, water drops and gulls, transports the listener on the beach, in a corner of paradise.
This is a full, complete and complex, work. In its uniqueness goes well with the deep and tech house sounds of the moment.
