Get your dancing shoes on, because this track will surely make you groove to the beat. When you hear a pumping kick drum open a song, you know what’s bound to happen. Even if you have two left feet or just don’t dance at all, I can guarantee that this song will make you bust a move. You won’t be able to resist the rhythm, so you might as well give in and surrender to the beats.
Right off the bat, you will get hooked by the soothing melody of the synths and guitars. It gets you started with a very relaxed feeling, and transports you to a place of calmness. It reels you further in with the kick drum and funky guitars, giving you a very light yet energetic vibe - one that makes you want to just groove to it. The song takes care of you, as it cradles you from beginning to end without overwhelming your ears with a lot of elements. Overall, this track sets a very chill yet funky mood. It gives a “driving towards the sunset on a summer day road trip” kind of feels. It’s something you can listen to everyday, or on one of those days when you want the bad vibes to just float away.

About the Curator - Nik Abat
Nik is an Engineer, an Indie Artist, and a Music Producer from the Philippines. He fell in love with Music when he learned how to play the guitar and started to write songs when he was 11. He sings and plays all the instruments on all the tracks he produces. His music revolves around the Alternative Rock genre (slightly favoring a more "movie soundtrack" vibe, with the occasional ambient sounds, synths, and screams/growls on the side), mixed with new elements as he loves to experiment with sound.
