Dusty from Dusty by smuv
German-based producer and beat-maker Smuv matches heavy bass knocks with lofi jazz boom bap vibes on the new single, “Dusty”. Airy white noise washes over the track like a wave giving the composition its shape and sonic aesthetic. While the track could be categorised as chill hop, the lows and the frequencies at which the bass hits may get you kicked out of the library. The brevity of the final single from the upcoming KU compilation ‘Strata’ represents the spirit of the project as a whole, in the sense that each track leaves you wanting more. “Dusty” could be played on loop for 10 minutes and be a crowd-pleaser, but only being able to live in that world for just over a minute and thirty seconds is what makes it special. You get just a taste of a piece that feels so clear in some ways, but so hazy in its other layers. “Dusty” leaves room for thought and clarity.
