Layton Giordani continues his rich vein of outstanding form with his latest release on Drumcode ‘Freaks at Night’.
The Drumcode star has been delightfully scribbling outside the lines in recent times, showing his sonic breadth and impressive sound design skills in the process.
From ‘Thrillseeker‘, the “B-side” of last year’s ‘Phantom‘ EP which touched on trap, dubstep and hip hop, to the recent remix of Sharam‘s ‘P.A.T.T.‘ he crafted with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet, which broadened his production palette and became his first Beatport overall no.1 in the process.
‘Freaks at Night‘ continues his adventures in sound. Unmistakably a peak-time record, the track still manages to traverse a rich ethereal energy, highlighted by an otherworldly synth line and striking vocal that sets it apart from so many. Teased in sets by Giordani and Beyer going back to last summer, this one’s hugely anticipated.
Here’s what Giordani had to say about the release:
“My idea behind Freaks at Night was to combine techno and melodic house in a fresh way. The vocal is a classic from the 90s from a vocalist I grew up listening to out of NYC. I guess you could say this track is a vast combination of all my different influences and is a good representation of what’s to come.”
