Canadian producer Hologramme has swerved into a different sideroad with this one. Taking a detour from dance music, his new single ‘Aphrodite’ is a hybrid of breakbeat-based jungle and drum-rattling drum and bass.
Hits scatter, pitched-down vocals loop, and subtle little clicks and blips bubble up from below the surface, filling the stereo field with a multiplicity of microscopic points of interest that ultimately give the track its dimension. And we haven’t even discussed the drops yet…

When the drums kick in, all mayhem ensues. Frantic rhythms are shot off in a rapid-fire sequence and pulsating synth glides urge on the organised chaos. We can hear the unconfined sound the producer was aiming to create when he wrote the song. “When I write my music, I never think of a purpose for it. I just let it happen. It’s afterwards that the song finds a purpose by itself, and it’s the crowd that ultimately decides what the song is for,” he shared.
