HWLS, the joint project between prolific Australian beat maestros Ta-Ku and Kit Pop, have uploaded their latest SoundCloud gem that’s currently doing the rounds across tastemaker blogs worldwide.
This time the duo have worked their magic on Seekae’s latest single, the frenetic ‘Test And Recognise’. They’ve smoothed out the Sydney trio’s deliberately unnerving, off-kilter original and have instead morphed it into a smooth, glossy trap cut.
It’s a heavy, floating chiller, building with a slow-burning progression from its sparse opening to pull in crisp snares and pounding drums, eventually blossoming into a more densely-layered soundscape. Maybe it’s just the anti-Auto Tune vocals, but this one sounds like it could be the instrumental for an A$AP Rocky verse. Once again it’s another stroke of brilliance from HWLS.
